Lima man sentenced to the max for ‘systematic abuse’ of 16-year-old girl

LIMA — Twenty-four felony counts. The maximum sentence on each. To be served consecutively.

It all adds up to 156 years behind bars for 39-year-old Jay Holliday for repeatedly and methodically sexually abusing and impregnating a 16-year-old girl with whom he had a familial connection, all while knowingly being infected with the HIV virus.

A second victim, a girl who was even younger, was involved in charges that were ultimately dismissed in the case, according to multiple parties.
