United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that a Soldier
Creek, South Dakota, man convicted of Sexual Abuse of a Minor was sentenced on
May 22, 2018, by U.S. District Judge Roberto A. Lange.
Rylan Alton Joel Black Lance, age 23, was sentenced to 34
months in prison, followed by 5 years of supervised release, and a special
assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100
Black Lance was indicted by a federal grand jury on November
14, 2017. He pled guilty on March 7,
2018.
The conviction stemmed from an incident that occurred on
August 5, 2017. On that date, Black
Lance invited a 15-year-old girl to his residence in Soldier Creek, provided
her alcohol and marijuana, and engaged in sexual intercourse with her. Black Lance was aware that the victim was
under the age of 16, and therefore unable to consent to any sexual activity
with him.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kirk Albertson
prosecuted the case.
Black Lance was immediately turned over to the custody of
the U.S. Marshals Service.
