A 34-year-old man from the Tucker Community of the Choctaw Indian Reservation in Mississippi has been sentenced to 50 years behind bars for the heinous crime of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old child.
Cameron Hickman, the defendant, was found guilty at the conclusion of his jury trial in June 2022. The jury delivered a guilty verdict on the charge of aggravated sexual abuse of a child less than 12 years of age.
The crime took place in 2019, when a federal grand jury indicted Hickman on the charge of aggravated sexual abuse of a child less than 12 years of age. The indictment came after an investigation by the Choctaw Police Department of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
According to court documents, Hickman had sexually assaulted the 12-year-old female child. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Kevin J. Payne and Special Assistant United States Attorney Brian Burns.
United States Attorney Darren J. LaMarca commended the work of the Choctaw Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, who investigated the case. LaMarca praised the efforts of the law enforcement agencies for their dedication to bringing justice to the victim and her family.
Hickman will spend the next 50 years in prison followed by a lifetime of supervised release. The sentence reflects the severity of the crime and the need to protect society from such heinous offenders.
The case is a stark reminder of the importance of protecting our children from predators and the need for a strong justice system to hold perpetrators accountable for their actions.
