GONZALES — A Gonzales man pleaded guilty to charges of inappropriately touching an 11-year-old girl over nearly two years, prosecutors said.
Bronson Hill, 41, is set for sentencing Aug. 27 after a presentence investigation is finished, prosecutors with the 23rd Judicial District said in news release.
Hill faces a sentence of 25 to 99 years in prison at hard labor.
At least 25 years must be served without the benefit of probation, parole or suspension of sentence.
The judicial district encompasses Ascension, Assumption and St. James parishes.

Sheriff’s investigators learned that Hill’s inappropriate behavior had been happening daily.
