A Minneapolis man has been sentenced to 37 months in prison for his role in a disturbing case of sexual assault of a minor in South Dakota. Adam Standing Soldier, 25, pleaded guilty to the charge on February 14, 2013, after engaging in a sexual act with a minor on February 5, 2012.
The offense took place in South Dakota, where Standing Soldier was subsequently sentenced by Chief Judge Jeffrey L. Viken of the U.S. District Court on May 31, 2013. In addition to his prison term, Standing Soldier was also handed a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund and 5 years of supervised release.
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, with Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Laura A. Shattuck prosecuting the case on behalf of the government. Standing Soldier was immediately remanded to the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons following his sentencing.
The incident has sent shockwaves through the community, with many calling for tougher laws to protect vulnerable individuals. The case highlights the importance of swift and decisive action in cases of child abuse and exploitation.
Standing Soldier’s sentence is a significant step towards justice for the victim and their family. The community can rest easier knowing that those who prey on the vulnerable will face severe consequences.
The case serves as a reminder that child abuse and exploitation will not be tolerated in our society. We must continue to work towards creating a safer and more just world for all.
