A man who had sex with teenagers and provided them drugs and alcohol will spend between 10 and 25 years in prison.
A judge sentenced John Brown in Eaton County Circuit Court Thursday morning. Brown pleaded no contests to five counts of 3rd Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct and one count each of Harboring a Runaway and Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor.
He could have gotten life in prison because he is a habitual offender. Prosecutors say Brown and his wife Ashley gave the teens alcohol and marijuana at their home in Charlotte and in one case hid a girl in a hole in the wall when police came to look for her.
Ashley Brown was also supposed to be sentenced Thursday. That was delayed because she wants to withdraw her guilty plea to 3rd Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct, Harboring a Runaway and Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor.
