LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. (AP) A former Cub Scout leader in Gwinnett County has been sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of child molestation in a case authorities say involved more than a dozen children. <br /> <br /> The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that 50-year-old Harry Brett Taylor of Lawrenceville was given the prison term Thursday in Gwinnett County. <br /> <br /> Taylor was arrested in the summer of 2008, after a boy told police Taylor fondled him and photographed him undressing during a swim party and sleepover at the Scout leader's pool. Police said the gathering wasn't a Cub Scout event, but the boy knew him because he was a den leader. <br /> <br /> Prosecutors said more than a dozen other children later came forward, saying Taylor had sexual contact with them, made them undress for him, or were photographed naked. <br />
