Jonathan Wigham / Freeborn County Jail Roster
(ABC 6 News) – A Hollandale man was sentenced to 180 days in the Freeborn County Jail on work release after pleading guilty to two counts of 3rd-degree criminal sexual conduct with a 14-to-15-year-old.
Jonathan David Wigham received credit for 43 days already spent in Freeborn County Custody — many of which were served in the past month after Wigham was re-arrested for unsupervised, unapproved contact with juveniles while on probation.
Wigham was sentenced to 10 years’ supervised probation by Freeborn County judge Christy Hormann. He could be re-sentenced to up to 4 years in prison if he violates the terms of that probation, according to Minnesota court records.
Wigham was also ordered to complete sex offender treatment, register as a predatory offender, and avoid unsupervised contact with juveniles.
