Bullhead Man Sentenced for Sex Crimes
A Bullhead, South Dakota man was sentenced to 3 years in custody for engaging in sex crimes with a minor. Landon Iron Thunder, age 24, was convicted of two counts of Abusive Sexual Contact.
Iron Thunder was sentenced to 36 months in custody on one count and 24 months in custody on the second count, to run concurrently. The Court further ordered that these sentences be served consecutive to a Burleigh County, North Dakota, sentence.
Iron Thunder was also sentenced to 5 years of supervised release and a $200 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
The conviction stems from an incident occurring between June 1, 2010, and July 31, 2010, when Iron Thunder was socializing with family members, including the juvenile female victim.
At the time of the incident, the victim slept on a mattress, along with other family members, located on the floor of Iron Thunder’s room. The victim awoke to discover that her belt had been unbuckled and her pants had been pulled down. Iron Thunder was lying next to her and had his hands inside the victim’s underwear.
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Troy R. Morley prosecuted the case.
Iron Thunder was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service to be returned to North Dakota to finish serving his state sentence before serving his federal sentence.
Landon Iron Thunder was indicted by a federal grand jury on July 17, 2013, and pled guilty on March 21, 2014.
