Child Abuse Allegations Hit Eagle Butte, South Dakota
A 24-year-old man from Eagle Butte, South Dakota, is facing serious charges after being indicted for Child Abuse. Allen White, also known as AJ White, has been accused of violating federal laws.
The investigation, led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, revealed sufficient evidence to bring an indictment against White. On February 13, 2013, a federal grand jury formally charged White with Child Abuse.
White, who was 24 years old at the time of the indictment, appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark A. Moreno on February 20, 2013. During the hearing, White pled not guilty to the indictment.
The maximum penalty upon conviction is 15 years of custody, a $250,000 fine, or both. Additionally, White may face 3 years of supervised release and a $100 special assessment. Restitution may also be ordered.
The investigation is ongoing, and White has been released on bond pending trial. A trial date has not been set. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Mikal Hanson.
The charge of Child Abuse is merely an accusation, and White is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. The community of Eagle Butte, South Dakota, is closely watching this case, and many are hoping for justice to be served.
As the investigation continues, the Federal Bureau of Investigation will work tirelessly to gather evidence and build a strong case against White. The people of South Dakota deserve to know that those who commit child abuse will be held accountable for their actions.
