Minneapolis男子性接触未满12岁儿童被判15年监禁：出狱后须登记为性犯罪者
美国司法部南达科他区联邦检察官办公室宣布，一名原居南达科他州 Enemy Swim、现居 Minnesota 州 Minneapolis 的男子，因对一名未满12岁的儿童实施性接触，被判处15年联邦监禁。量刑于2026年11月2日在南达科他州布朗县 Aberdeen 的联邦法院作出。
被告 Roshaun Christian Pomani，现年26岁。法官 Charles B. Kornmann 判处其15年联邦监禁，其后5年监督释放，并须向联邦犯罪受害者基金缴纳100美元特别评估费。服刑期满获释后，他还必须登记为性犯罪者。
检方指出，定罪源于2015年1月6日至2016年1月5日期间发生的事件：当时 Pomani 与受害儿童同住在 Enemy Swim 附近的部落住房内，他在明知对方未满12岁的情况下对其实施了性接触。
Pomani 于2024年3月被联邦大陪审团起诉，并于2026年8月17日认罪。此案由 Sisseton-Wahpeton 执法部门与联邦调查局（FBI）调查，助理联邦检察官 Elizabeth A. Ebert-Webb 负责起诉。
此案属于司法部2006年5月启动的全国性「安全童年计划」（Project Safe Childhood）的一部分，该计划统筹联邦、州与地方资源，打击儿童性剥削与性虐待，并识别、营救受害者。量刑后，Pomani 已被立即移交美国法警局羁押。

Minneapolis Man Sentenced to 15 Years for Abusive Sexual Contact With a Child Under 12
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of South Dakota announced that a Minneapolis, Minnesota man, formerly of Enemy Swim, South Dakota, has been sentenced to 15 years in federal prison for abusive sexual contact with a child under the age of 12. The sentencing took place on November 2, 2026, in Aberdeen, in Brown County, South Dakota.
Roshaun Christian Pomani, age 26, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Charles B. Kornmann to 15 years in federal prison, followed by five years of supervised release, and ordered to pay a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100. Upon release from federal prison, Pomani must register as a sex offender.
The conviction stemmed from incidents between January 6, 2015, and January 5, 2016, when Pomani knowingly engaged in sexual contact with a victim who had not yet attained the age of 12 while they were both living in tribal housing near Enemy Swim.
Pomani was indicted by a federal grand jury in March 2024 and pleaded guilty on August 17, 2026. The case was investigated by Sisseton-Wahpeton Law Enforcement and the FBI. Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth A. Ebert-Webb prosecuted the case.
The case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched by the Department of Justice in May 2006 to combat child sexual exploitation and abuse, and to identify and rescue victims. Pomani was immediately remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
