Chelyan Grandfather To Be Sentenced
WEST VIRGINIA....
Sixty-five year old Freddie L. Bragg of Chelyan faces a possible sentence of life in prison after being found guilty on nine of 11 counts of sexually abusing his teenage granddaughter. The two counts he wasn't found guilty of related to oral sex. Bragg told jurors he never touched the teen and never would. He described her as depressed and heavily medicated, and said he didn't know why she made such allegations. The victim, now 19 years old and living in a group home in Morgantown, testified her grandfather forced her to have sex with him about 50 times over a four-year period, while telling her she would get in trouble and maybe go to jail if she told anyone.
