Eagle Butte男子性侵未成年人经陪审团定罪：被判联邦监禁10年1个月
美国南达科他区联邦检察官办公室宣布，联邦地区法官 Camela C. Theeler 已对一名性侵未成年人案件的被告量刑：现年24岁、来自南达科他州 Eagle Butte 的 Emanual Semon 被判联邦监禁10年1个月，其后5年监督释放，并须向联邦犯罪受害人基金缴纳200美元特别评估费。量刑于10月19日进行。
Semon 于2024年7月被联邦大陪审团起诉，2026年5月经为期三天的陪审团审判，被裁定未经同意性侵与性侵未成年人两项罪名成立。检方在审判中出示的证据显示，2024年7月3日下午，Semon 在位于 Pine Ridge 印第安保留地的一处住所内，在未经同意的情况下与一名未成年少女发生性行为，其间一名成年人进入房间将其打断，他才停止。
检方表示，此案由联邦检察官办公室起诉，是因为《重大犯罪法》规定，发生在印第安保留地内的特定暴力犯罪须由联邦法院而非州法院审理。案件由联邦调查局 FBI 与 Oglala Sioux 部落公共安全部调查，联邦助理检察官 Kirk Albertson 负责起诉，属于司法部「安全童年计划」的一部分。Semon 已被即时移交联邦法警局收押服刑。
Eagle Butte Man Sentenced to 10 Years and One Month in Federal Prison After Jury Conviction for Sexual Abuse
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of South Dakota announced that U.S. District Judge Camela C. Theeler has sentenced Emanual Semon, 24, of Eagle Butte, South Dakota, to 10 years and one month in federal prison, followed by five years of supervised release, and ordered him to pay a $200 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. The sentencing took place on October 19, 2026.
Semon was indicted by a federal grand jury in July 2024 and was found guilty of Sexual Abuse Without Consent and Sexual Abuse of a Minor following a three-day jury trial in May 2026. Evidence at trial established that on the afternoon of July 3, 2024, at a residence in the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, Semon engaged in sexual activity with a juvenile female without her consent, stopping only when an adult entered the room and interrupted him.
The case was prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney's Office because the Major Crimes Act mandates that certain violent crimes occurring in Indian Country be prosecuted in federal court rather than state court. The case was investigated by the FBI and the Oglala Sioux Tribe Department of Public Safety and prosecuted by Supervisory Assistant U.S. Attorney Kirk Albertson as part of Project Safe Childhood. Semon was immediately remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
