United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that an Eagle
Butte, South Dakota, man has been indicted by a federal grand jury for Sexual
Abuse of a Minor.
Dee Hawk Moran, age 23, was indicted on January 23,
2019. He appeared before U.S. Magistrate
Judge Mark A. Moreno on January 25, 2019, and pled not guilty to the
Indictment.
The maximum penalty upon conviction is up to 15 years in
federal prison and/or a $250,000 fine, 5 years up to life of supervised
release, and $100 to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. Restitution may also be ordered.
The Indictment alleges that between September 1, 2015, and
June 16, 2017, Moran knowingly engaged in, and attempted to engage in, a sexual
act with a minor female.
The charge is merely an accusation and Moran is presumed
innocent until and unless proven guilty.
The investigation is being conducted by the Federal Bureau
of Investigation and the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement
Services. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kirk
Albertson is prosecuting the case.
Moran was remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals
Service pending trial. A trial date has
not been set.
