Another defendant has pleaded guilty to charges stemming from the suspected torture of a young woman held captive in Logan County last summer.
Twenty-five-year-old Bobby Brewster pleaded guilty in Logan County Circuit Court on Tuesday to second-degree sexual assault, malicious assault and conspiracy to commit kidnapping. He received a sentence of 13 to 40 years in prison.
A call to Logan County Prosecutor Robert Ilderton was not immediately returned Wednesday night.
Authorities say Brewster and five others held Charleston resident Megan Williams for days in a trailer where she was forced to eat animal feces, sexually assaulted and stabbed. She was rescued September 8 after an anonymous caller alerted authorities.
The other defendants have all pleaded guilty except Danny Combs, who is scheduled for trial later this summer.
Because Williams is black and her assailants were white, prosecutors were pressured to charge the defendants with hate crimes, but only one faced such a charge.
