A Castlewood man in Russell County, Va. (WJHL) received three life sentences on Tuesday after being found guilty of several charges including sodomy, aggravated sexual battery, and indecent liberties with a child.

The Office of Russell County Commonwealth’s Attorney Zack Stoots reported that Mickey Douglas Meade, Jr. was convicted following a jury trial in February 2025.

The 38-year-old was found guilty of the following:

  • 3 counts of sodomy
  • 5 counts of aggravated sexual battery
  • 2 counts of indecent liberties of a child

A news release from Stoots’ office stated, “The Commonwealth presented evidence showing the defendant repeatedly sexually abused a child over a four-year span and the impact this abuse had on the child.”

Meade was sentenced to an active period of incarceration of three life sentences and an additional 10 active years of incarceration. Those sentences must run consecutively, the release states.

“We are thankful that the defendant should never be out in the community again due to the multiple life sentences the Court has imposed and won’t have the opportunity to prey on a child in our community again,” Stoots said in a statement.

Stoots commended the Russell County Sheriff’s Office, Virginia State Police and the Care Center of Southwest Virginia for their roles in the investigation.
