Wellsburg Resident Pleads Guilty to Incest

David Michael Hill, 46, of Wellsburg, is facing 25-75 years in prison after pleading guilty to five counts of incest.
That sentence is part of a plea agreement Hill made with prosecutors to avoid a sentence of 100-200 years.
The agreement also dismisses five counts of second-degree sexual assault and sexual abuse by a custodian.
A family member of Hill’s went to the Brooke County Sheriff’s Office to report that they have been molested by Hill since they were 16.
The family member said in a criminal complaint that sex was sporadic at first and then went to two or three times a week or sometimes every day.
The criminal complaint also said that Hill at first used sex toys to penetrate the family member but eventually used his penis.
The family member told police that they would say no to Hill at times and that Hill would get angry with them and would choke them with his hands around their neck.
Deputies say Hill went into the  sheriff’s office to be interviewed and said he had sex “a lot” with the family member.
According to the complaint, Hill also admitted to choking the victim out of anger when the family member said no to having sex.
Hill told deputies that he “couldn’t stop” having sex with the family member and that it had gotten out of control and needed help.
