United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that a Mandan,
North Dakota, man convicted of Aggravated Sexual Abuse of a Child and
Aggravated Incest was sentenced on January 9, 2020, by U.S. District Judge
Charles B. Kornmann.
Ronnie White Mountain, age 51, was sentenced to 360 months
in federal prison, followed by 5 years of supervised release, and a special
assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.
White Mountain was indicted by a federal grand jury on June
11, 2019. He was found guilty by a jury trial on September 5, 2019.
The conviction stemmed from an incident, which occurred
sometime between January 2010 and December 2012, when White Mountain was
visiting relatives in McLaughlin, South Dakota, on the Standing Rock
Reservation. Following a night of
drinking, White Mountain returned to a family members home and knowingly
engaged in a sexual act with a minor victim who had not attained the age of 12
years old.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney
Kirsten Jasper prosecuted the case.
White Mountain was immediately turned over to the custody of
the U.S. Marshals Service.
