HELENA – A Forsyth man pleaded guilty on June 19 in Rosebud County District Court to sexual intercourse without consent with a child under the age of 13, Attorney General Austin Knudsen announced. The state will be asking the court to sentence the defendant to the Montana State Prison for 60 years with 20 years suspended. As part of the agreement in this case, the defendant will be required to join the state in this recommendation.

Patrick Holden, 44, admitted to sexually assaulting a young girl multiple times between 2015 and 2021.

In January of 2023, the child was interviewed by the Department of Health and Human Services and disclosed she had been sexually abused by Holden. Shortly after, the defendant was interviewed by the Rosebud County Sheriff’s Office and admitted to sexually abusing the girl.

Assistant Attorney General Dan Guzynski prosecuted the case, which was investigated by the Department of Health and Human Services and the Rosebud County Sheriff’s Office.

The sentencing hearing is scheduled for October 23, 2023, at 10:00 AM.
