POCATELLO – A man who pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting one of his family members has received a prison sentence in Bannock County District Court.
A sentencing hearing was held Thursday afternoon for Bill Montgomery Green, 20, who sexually assaulted one of his family members in 2023. While his attorney made an argument for a retained jurisdiction program, Judge Javier Gabiola decided that Green would be a danger to society and gave him at least 25 years in prison for his crimes.
“I firmly believe if I placed you on probation, you would commit other heinous crimes, inclusive of the two you’ve admitted to here,” Gabiola said.
Green accepted a plea agreement on Aug. 27, pleading guilty to Lewd Conduct with a Minor Under 16 and Incest Under 18, with the state dropping two counts of rape
