Sycamore Brewing Co-Owner Justin Brigham Held on $10 Million Bond in Alleged Rape of 13-Year-Old, Police Say

Sycamore’s other co-owner, Sarah Taylor, says she is assuming full leadership following his arrest.

Overview

  • Arrest warrants allege Brigham broke into a Stanfield home on Dec. 10 and sexually assaulted a 13-year-old inside the residence.
  • He is charged with first-degree burglary, statutory rape of a child and indecent liberties with a child, according to court records.
  • A judge set bond at $10 million at his first appearance on Dec. 11, and he is being held at the Stanly County Detention Center.
  • The sheriff’s office says the girl’s parents found an unknown adult male in her room and deputies later located Brigham undressed in a vehicle near the home.
  • Co-owner Sarah Taylor announced she is taking full control of Sycamore Brewing and that Brigham will divest, as at least one retailer pulled the brand’s products and redirected proceeds to a rape crisis center.
