Britt man pleads guilty to sexual abuse related charges
BRITT — A Britt man charged with 28 sexual abuse-related counts has entered into a plea agreement with prosecutors, pleading guilty to four of the charges.
39-year-old Jeromie Holland was charged in November with 14 counts of second-degree sexual assault and 14 counts of lascivious acts with a child. Holland is accused of sexually assaulting a female child 14 times between May 7th and November 2nd of last year. Britt police also say that Holland confessed in 2015 to sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl as well as sexually assaulting two other girls under the age of 12 when Holland was between 16 and 17 years old.
