Damon Whitebreast, Sex Abuse of a Minor, Iowa 2019

A man who repeatedly raped a 13-year-old victim has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison.

Damon Whitebreast, 22, from Montour, Iowa, received the prison term after pleading guilty to two counts of sex abuse of a minor on November 4, 2019.

Evidence during the case established that Whitebreast had sexual intercourse with the 13-year-old child on at least two occasions. When police came to look for the child at his residence, Whitebreast hid the child from officers.

After pleading guilty, Whitebreast assaulted another inmate while housed at the Linn County jail, causing injuries and bruising.

Whitebreast was sentenced in Cedar Rapids by United States District Court Judge C.J. Williams to 120 months’ imprisonment and fined $30,000. He must also serve a 5-year term of supervised release after the prison term.

Judge Williams found that this was a ‘crime of violence that caused incalculable harm to a 13-year-old’ victim.

Whitebreast is being held in the United States Marshal’s custody until he can be transported to a federal prison.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
