DETROIT – A Detroit man who got into his ex-girlfriend’s house, took her dog, tortured the dog, and after that sent her videos of the abuse has actually been sentenced.
In October 2022, Julius Holley, 56, of Detroit, got into his ex-girlfriend’s home, harmed her property, and took her Yorkshire-Terrier mix, according to authorities.
Holley is implicated of taping himself while he beat and tortured the dog. He then sent the videos to his ex-girlfriend, authorities said.
The dog was ultimately abandoned in a pail beside a house and after that taken by Michigan Humane authorities to make certain it couldn’t be abused once again. The dog is still alive, authorities said.
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel revealed charges versus Holley in November. He ran away the state and was extradited from Ohio late in 2022, according to authorities.
He pleaded guilty May 24, 2023, to one count of first-degree animal abuse with a regular 4th culprit sentence improvement.
“The torture of an animal, and for the explicit torment of those who love them, is a cruel exhibition of violence that is inherently linked with domestic violence, and Michigan is well-served by the law, which acknowledges this link,” Nessel said.
Holley was sentenced Monday, June 12, to 5-15 years in jail. He is likewise prohibited from owning an animal or calling his ex-girlfriend.
