Canadian National Pleads Guilty to Sexually Abusing Minors

A disturbing case of child abuse has come to light in Minnesota, where a Canadian national has pleaded guilty to engaging in sexual contact with two minors on the Bois Forte Indian Reservation.

According to court documents, Brady John Hillis, 32, a citizen of Canada, was at the Fortune Bay Resort and Casino on the Bois Forte Indian Reservation on June 22, 2018. Surveillance video captured Hillis engaging in sexual contact with the two minor victims, who were both under 12 years of age.

Hillis pleaded guilty yesterday before Chief U.S. District Judge John R. Tunheim to two counts of abusive sexual contact with a child under 12 years of age. A sentencing hearing will be scheduled for a later date.

This case is the result of an investigation conducted by the FBI and the Bois Forte Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Deidre Y. Aanstad is prosecuting the case.

Hillis will face the consequences of his actions, but for the victims, the damage has already been done. This case serves as a reminder of the importance of vigilance and the need for strict laws to protect our children.

The Bois Forte Indian Reservation has a long history of taking care of its people, and this case will not deter them from their mission. The community will continue to work together to keep their children safe.
