Man Gets Six Years for Coercing Sex
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
A Los Angeles man was sentenced to six years in prison Wednesday for coercing an adult-movie actress to have sex with him while pretending to be her parole officer.
Ronald Ralph Holland, 56, of Los Angeles, pleaded guilty to rape and oral copulation under color of authority, Deputy Dist. Atty. Christina Weiss said. Holland had threatened to jail his victim, a Covina woman in her early 30s, Weiss said.
Holland’s ex-wife pleaded guilty to coercion earlier this year after trying to keep the victim from testifying.
