The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office has charged a former Holt resident with multiple counts of sexual battery on a victim under the age of twelve.
Investigators say 31-year old Jon Eric Dowdy raped a child multiple times between July 2010 and June 2014 when she was between four and eight years old.
The victim says the abuse happened at a home in Holt at least fifteen times and that she suffers from flashbacks.
She also told Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office investigators it continued at a house in Milton.
During questioning of Dowdy, he answered “all the questions calmly and never got angry about any of the allegations he was being accused of.”
