ALBUQUERQUE—This morning in federal
court in Albuquerque, Karl Domingo, 37, an enrolled member of the Navajo Nation
who resides in Rock Spring, New Mexico, pled guilty to an information charging
him with abusive sexual contact.
At sentencing, Domingo faces a maximum
penalty of four years of imprisonment, a $250,000 fine, and three years of
supervised release. Domingo also will be required to register as a sex
offender. Domingo remains on conditions of release that were imposed after he
was arrested in July 2011 pending his sentencing hearing, which has yet to be
scheduled.
Domingo entered his guilty plea under a
plea agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s Office. In his plea agreement, Domingo
admitted that, in the summer of 2007, he sexually assaulted a 10-year-old
female child by touching her genitalia with his finger. Domingo further
admitted that the sexual assault occurred at the child’s home, which was
located within the Navajo Indian Reservation.
This case was investigated by the Gallup
Resident Agency of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and is being prosecuted
by Assistant U.S. Attorney Kyle T. Nayback.
