COLUMBUS (WCMH) — Tori C. Holden-Turner was sentenced to 18 months in prison on two counts of gross sexual imposition.

On release, he will be on probation for 5 years.

According to court documents, an 8-year-old girl told a friend that she was inappropriately touched by Holden-Turned on several occasions. That friend told her grandmother, who notified the victim’s mother, who then notified the principal of the school.

Police reported that the principal then pulled security footage that showed Holden-Turner touching the buttocks of the victim over her clothing.
