Lane was charged with molesting several teenage boys after befriending them, offering them jobs working at his radio stations. He also gave them alcohol. In a deal worked out with prosecutors, Lane entered guilty pleas, dropping the claim of innocence he had at the trial that resulted in his conviction on two counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and six counts of possession of child pornography.
