JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - A Neshoba County man is pleading guilty to having sex with a girl younger than 12.
Brandon Keith Farmer, 20, made the plea Friday before Senior U.S. District Judge Tom Lee in Jackson.
The man faced federal charges because he is a member of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians and the sexual contact took place in early 2013 on the Pearl River section of the Choctaw reservation.
