Minnett Bay, Ala-
A judge on Thursday sentenced an Alabama woman to 219 in prison for her role in an incest ring accused of molesting children for years.
One prosecutor said that Wendy Holland, 35, did not show any emotion because the judge condemned her for serving at least 50 years before considering parole.
Last month, a jury found the woman guilty of sodomy, sexual abuse and other crimes.
Protesters in the shooting at Virginia Beach in Connecticut interrupted another Harris defendant, William Brownlee, and got 20-
Years in prison.
Brown, 50, was convicted of sodomy and sexual abuse in the fall.
The two were one of 11 people accused of sexual offences after a suspected victim of the gang disappeared in 2012, 19-year-
Old Britney Wood
She is still missing and is presumed dead.
Baldwin Council Circuit Judge Jody bishop sentenced both Dutch and Brownlee to maximum sentences and said each of them should have more time.
The two sides still face additional charges involving other alleged victims.
In a letter read in court, the underage female victims in both cases said that years of abuse had scarred her and that it was difficult for her to trust anyone and anyone,
"I am a little girl who has been detained and raped," the victim wrote in court . ".
Authorities say the Netherlands and Browley are part of a group of sexual abuse of children and the exchange of other relatives and friends with their children over the years.
The Netherlands is the widow of Donnie Holland, the alleged leader of the group, and Donnie Holland is the uncle of Britney Wood.
The teenager was found missing in the Netherlands when he was shot in the head;
He was convicted of suicide after his death.
Even without Brittney Wood's testimony, her two uncles and one brother had admitted sexual charges before the jury found Wendy Holland and Brownlee guilty.
In a letter read in court, the underage girl was abused by her Dutch and family friend Browley, comparing her youth to being lost in the maze.
The teenager said she felt afraid of more sexual torture and often looked for shadows in the corners.
"The person who should protect me is the one who hurt me," she wrote in the letter . ".
