Many members of a family were arrested for their involvement in an incestuous sex ring.
Wendy Holland, 35, who was one of the ring leaders, was sentenced to 219
years in prison for her role in the network of incestuous sexual
exploitation of children.
Authorities said that Holland, was part of a group of family and friends
who sexually abused children and exchange their own children for sex
over many years.
Holland showed no emotion when the judge sentenced her on Thursday, to
what amounts to a life sentence. She must serve at least 50 years in
prison before being considered for parole, a prosecutor said.
Jurors convicted the woman of sodomy, sexual abuse and other charges.
Another defendant, William Brownlee, 50, was sentenced to 20 years in
prison. Brownlee was convicted of sodomy and sexual abuse.
The two were among 11 people accused of sex crimes. Their crimes came to
light in 2012, after the disappearance of 19-year-old Brittney Wood.
She remains missing and is presumed dead. After Woods went missing, her
uncle, Donnie Holland Sr., was found dead from a single gunshot to the
head. His death was ruled a suicide.
Donnie Holland is the husband of Wendy Holland, who was jailed for 219
years. Their son Donald Paul Holland Jr., 22, was also arrested and
charged with incest, rape and sexual abuse.
During trial, some of the victims, including girls and boys, came forward and testified against their family members.
Even without testimony from Brittney Wood, two of her uncles and her
older brother pleaded guilty to sex charges. They are awaiting
sentencing.
One of the suspects admitted that they had sex with children while they
were still in diapers and that the family had group sex with the
underage kids.
Sadly, none of the suspects shed light on the whereabouts of Brittney
Wood, who is a single mother to a 4-year-old daughter named Payton.
