tiki bar owner gets 18 – years

A Jefferson City man changes his mind…and pleads guilty to several sex charges. 44-year-old Brett Courtney was supposed to go on trial Tuesday for the 2012 sexual assault of a 16 year old girl in a home on St. Louis Road. Just before the start of Tuesday’s trial, Courtney changed his plea to guilty and was given an 18 year sentence.

Courtney owned the Tiki Room Bar and Grill on High Street.
