Billy Dunn was sentenced to 20 years in jail with 19 years of that jail sentence suspended, with each jail sentence to run concurrently.

According to Charlotte County Commonwealth’s Attorney William E. Green Jr., upon Dunn’s release, he will serve four years of supervised probation, with the first two years being served on home electronic incarceration with GPS monitoring. Green said Dunn will have to register as a sex offender with the Virginia Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry.

“He is ordered to go to sex offender counseling as may be recommended by his probation officer,” Green said.

Dunn is prohibited from having any unsupervised contact with anyone under the age of 18.

According to the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office, Dunn was originally arrested April 6 after a complaint was made to police about a juvenile that had been sexually assaulted in the Keysville area.

A $10,000 bond was posted, and Dunn’s advisement date was set for April 11.

“On April 12, another complaint was made to the sheriff’s office about a juvenile that had been sexually assaulted in the Keysville area,” police said.

According to the release, Dunn was arrested following an investigation and charged with a second count of aggravated sexual battery of a juvenile.
