A couple have been arrested after the body of the woman's disabled
pregnant teen daughter, Holli Jeffcoat, was discovered in a partially
burned home with her uterus ripped out. The teen's step father James
Holland was arrested in March on three counts of rape and 1 count
of murder.
Investigators have accused Holland of raping his step
daughter several times going back to as young as when she was 8 years
old.
Suspicions of sexual abuse first came to the surface following a
2008 car crash in which Holli was involved. A blood sample from the
teen, who at the time was only eight-years-old, revealed she had an STD
but he denied it.
Investigators think the teen's mother, Debi Holland knew about the abuse
and even aided her husband to carryout and cover the abuse of her own
daughter. Debi is also suspected of preventing medical exams on her
daughter which would have determined she was being brutally molested..
After years of abuse, Holli finally told officials at her school, as
well as the Children's Advocacy Centre, that she was pregnant with her
stepfather's baby.
One official said Holli said she didn't want to go home with dad because
she didn’t want to have sex.
Debi was also arrested after her daughters body was found but she has
reportedly denied any knowledge of what was happening to her daughter by
her husband.
