CAROLINA BEACH – A Carolina Beach man will serve the next 25 years in prison after he was found guilty of multiple child sex abuse offenses.
David Chase Lewis, 32, was tried in New Hanover County Superior Court Monday morning. He pled guilty to statutory sex offense, statutory rape, incest and taking indecent liberties with a child, according to a press release from District Attorney Ben David.
