SANTA ANA, Calif.—An Orange County piano instructor was convicted on March 14 of molesting eight girls—with a ninth testifying as a witness in his trial—over 18 years.
John Mordecai Scott, 65, was initially accused of molesting 11 girls, but one didn’t want to participate in the non-jury bench trial before Orange County Superior Court Judge Steve Bromberg, and charges related to another alleged victim were dismissed before the verdict.
