Bullhead Man Charged with Sex Abuse

A Bullhead, South Dakota, man has been indicted on multiple sex abuse charges.

Landon Iron Thunder, 24, was charged with Sexual Abuse of a Person Incapable of Consent, Sexual Abuse of a Minor, Abusive Sexual Contact of a Person Incapable of Consent, and Abusive Sexual Contact of a Minor.

The indictment was handed down by a federal grand jury in South Dakota on July 17, 2013. Iron Thunder appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge William D. Gerdes on July 26, 2013, and pleaded not guilty to the indictment.

The maximum penalty upon conviction for the charges is as follows: Sexual Abuse of a Person Incapable of Consent: any term of years up to life imprisonment; Sexual Abuse of a Minor: 15 years of imprisonment; Abusive Sexual Contact with a Person Incapable of Consent: 3 years of imprisonment; and Abusive Sexual Contact of a Minor: 2 years of imprisonment.

All counts include a possible $250,000 fine, 5 years up to life of supervised release, and a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. Restitution may also be ordered.

Iron Thunder was remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service and a trial date has not been set. The investigation is being conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Troy R. Morley is prosecuting the case.

The charges against Iron Thunder are merely accusations, and he is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
