Rapid City Woman Charged with Child Abuse
A 29-year-old Rapid City woman has been charged with child abuse after a federal grand jury indicted her on June 12, 2013.
Crystal Reeder, also known as Crystal Taylor, appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark A. Moreno on August 5, 2013, and pled not guilty to the indictment.
The maximum penalty upon conviction is up to 10 years in custody, a $250,000 fine, or both; 3 years of supervised release; and a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. Restitution may also be ordered.
The charge relates to incidents that allegedly occurred in May of 2012 in Isabel, South Dakota, when Reeder allegedly committed child abuse upon the victim.
The investigation is being conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services. Assistant U.S. Attorney Mikal Hanson is prosecuting the case.
Reeder was released on conditions pending trial. A trial date has been set for September 24, 2013. The charge is merely an accusation, and Reeder is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
