Sentencing will be held next month for a former Mt Horeb police officer,
who carried on a months long relationship with a 14 year old boy. For a time,
the youth lived with 45 year old Dennis Jenks. Jenks was in Dane County Court
Monday, and pleaded guilty in a deal with prosecutors. The relationship was
uncovered in February of 2013 as authorities investigated another man, James
Gillespie of Middleton, about his relationship with the teen. Gillespie is a
former church music director and was sentenced last October to a year in jail
and 15 years probation.
