Julius Holley Bio – Julius Holley Wiki
Julius Holley, a Michigan man, is accused of filming himself torturing his ex-girlfriend’s dog as part of a campaign of abuse and harassment against the woman, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said in a statement.
AGE:
Julius Holley is 55 years old.
DETAIL OF INCIDENCE:
Julius Holley of Detroit is charged with multiple offenses, including killing/torturing of animals and second-degree home invasion, which carry respective prison sentences of up to 10 and 15 years.
According to Nessel’s statement, Holly is accused of taking the Yorkshire Terrier mix dog and other items from his ex’s house and then sending videos of himself beating and torturing the dog. The dog was eventually left in a bucket outside the home.
The Michigan Humane Society took the dog “to ensure it could not be abused again,” the statement says.
According to the statement, Holley was not yet in custody as of Nov. 4. Nessel’s office did not immediately return PEOPLE’s inquiry on Wednesday about whether Holley is in control.
Nessel, in her statement, said, “Animal abuse is cruel and sadistic. It is also a crime that is often associated with other serious criminal activity, including domestic violence and abuse.”
She added, “Law enforcement and Michigan Humane know that victims of domestic violence are often reluctant to leave a dangerous situation for fear of having to leave their pets behind.”
Michigan court records show Holley pleaded guilty to domestic violence in 2012. In 1992, he was sentenced to prison after being convicted of first-degree criminal sexual conduct.
