Prosecutors charged an Independence man with two sex crimes on Friday and said they're concerned there may be unreported victims.

Jamie B. McPherson, 61, was charged with two counts of sodomy against two boysages 7 and 8. If convicted, McPherson could face two life sentences.

According to court documents, the former postal worker allegedly befriended single mothers and had the boys stay overnight at his house.

Prosecutors asked any other youth who has had contact with McPherson, a retired Cub Scout leader, to call 816-325-7330 and speak with a detective at the Independence Police Department.
