Youth coach sentenced to life for child sex assaults

NORTH PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A former youth football coach will spend the rest of his life in prison for sexually assaulting several children in North Philadelphia.

On Friday a judge sentenced Leon Watson to 114 to 228 years behind bars.

Prosecutors said he met his victims while coaching for two local teams.

A jury convicted Watson in January of molesting five young boys along with a 21-year-old mentally disabled adult.
