Jack Shay was once the mayor of Ketchikan and the Ketchikan borough. He served on the school board and was even “citizen of the year.” He dropped off a computer for repair and child sexual abuse images were found. Employees are required to report this. The police were notified and he was arrested and charged with 91 counts of possession of child sexual abuse materia. He agreed to plead guilty to 7 counts of possession of CSAM and was sentenced to 35 years with 18 suspended. As he was 81 when he was sentenced in 2012, that is effectively a life sentence.
