United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that a Chadron,
Nebraska, man has been indicted by a federal grand jury for four counts of
Aggravated Sexual Abuse of a Minor.
William Bear Robe, age 36, appeared before U.S. Magistrate
Judge Daneta Wollmann and pleaded not guilty to the Indictment.
The maximum penalty upon conviction for each charge is a
mandatory minimum of 30 years up to life in prison, a mandatory minimum term of
5 years up to life of supervised release, and $100 to the Federal Crime Victims
Fund. Restitution may also be ordered.
The charges relate to Bear Robe engaging in sexual acts with
a female child, who had not reached the age of 12 years, between April and
October of 2012, at Oglala, South Dakota.
The charges are merely accusations and Bear Robe is presumed
innocent until and unless proven guilty.
The investigation is being conducted by the Federal Bureau
of Investigation. Assistant U.S.
Attorney Megan Poppen is prosecuting the case.
Bear Robe was remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals
Service pending trial. A trial date has
been set for November 19, 2019.
