Former Loyola men’s golfer Ben Holm was sentenced to 10 years in a Georgia prison after accepting a plea deal stemming from a 2013 rape case when he was in high school.
Until recently, Holm was pursuing a double major in finance and economics at Loyola and was a member of the Loyola golf team from the fall of 2013 until the spring of 2016 when he left the program after his junior year for unspecified reasons. Although the rape happened after Holm committed to play golf at Loyola as a high school senior in Georgia, it’s unclear whether the Athletic Department was ever aware of Holm’s pending charges as it has decided to remain silent in the wake of Holm’s sentencing.
