A Ronan man, accused of sexually assaulting four minors, admitted to one of the related charges.
Glenn Alan Jorgenson, 68, entered a plea of guilty in District Court in Polson Nov. 19 to one count of felony sexual assault. The plea was entered as part of an agreement that could dismiss three other counts.
It comes with a joint recommendation of 10 years with the Montana Department of Corrections, with all that time suspended. The judge is not bound by the agreement.
According to court records, the incident that led to the charges occurred in Ronan between June 18 and July 18, 2024. At the time, the four alleged victims ranged in age from 9-years to 13-years old.
Judge Molly Owen set the case for sentencing on Jan. 7. Jorgenson is at liberty.
