CATAWBA COUNTY, N.C. — A 20-year-old Lawndale man will spend at least 25 years in prison after pleading guilty as charged to sex-related criminal acts involving a minor.
Jacob Marcus Humphries pleaded guilty to three counts of first-degree sexual offense and one count of indecent liberties with a child Wednesday in Catawba County Superior Court.
