Lincoln Co. man charged with child molestation

51-year-old Hershel Brown was sentenced to 20 years in prison for molesting a young girl.

LINCOLN COUNTY -- A Lincoln County man was found guilty of first degree child molestation.

51-year-old Hershel Brown was sentenced to 20 years in prison on April 25, 2016. The Troy resident was found guilty by a jury on March 1 for molesting a young girl.

“This case was a true example of how situations like these affect not only the victim, but the family as a whole. Now that her offender has been held accountable and is in prison, I hope that the victim and her family can begin to heal and move on with their lives,” said Lincoln County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Casey Brooks.
