A Cave Junction man facing 10 counts of first-degree sex abuse has pleaded guilty to five of those counts.
Dennis Willian, 66, entered his plea in Josephine County Circuit Court on Friday, July 16. Sex abuse is a Measure 11 offense with a mandatory minimum sentence of 75 months in prison.
Deputy District Attorney Ryan Mulkins, who prosecutes most of the sex crimes in the county, said that the state is recommending a nine-year prison term for Willian.
Willian was arrested and booked into Josephine County Jail in Grants Pass on June 10. At the time, he was living near Evergreen Elementary School.
The charges against Willian were based on allegations that he abused a 5-year-old girl on multiple occasions during 2002.
Willian was represented by attorney Victory Walker from the public defender“s office. Mulkins said that sentencing likely will take place within the next month.
