GREAT FALLS—A Fort Belknap man convicted of sexually abusing
a girl on the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation was sentenced this week to 22
years in prison and 15 years of supervised release, U.S. Attorney Kurt Alme
said today.
James Edward Snell, Jr., 42, pleaded guilty to aggravated
sexual abuse.
U.S. District Judge Brian Morris presided at the Oct. 22
sentencing hearing.
Prosecutors said in court records that an investigation of
Snell, and defendant Geneva Marie Nadeau, found photographs and videos of them
in 2015 sexually abusing a girl, who was under the age of 12. Nadeau confirmed
that Snell was in a photograph of a sex act involving the victim. Nadeau was
sentenced in February to 22 years in prison and 15 years of supervised release
after pleading guilty to aggravated sexual abuse.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Ryan Weldon and Jared Cobell
prosecuted the case, which was investigated by the FBI and Fort Belknap law
enforcement.
