“Sexual assault is a violation of the most intimate nature, robbing victims of the deepest sense of privacy and harming them in ways that will haunt them for a lifetime,” Fitch said. “My office is dedicated to protecting these victims and making our communities safer by holding these perpetrators accountable. Thank you to the incredible work of our investigators and prosecutors for ensuring that justice was served.”
In addition to the prison sentence, Hill was ordered to pay $1,000 to the Mississippi Children’s Trust Fund and $1,000 to the Victims of Human Trafficking and Commercial Sexual Exploitation Fund. Upon his release, he will be required to register as a sex offender.
