AUGUSTA, GA: David Dean Erskine, 43, a former resident of Fort Gordon Military Base, was sentenced to 63 months in prison, followed by 30 years of supervised release, for the abusive sexual contact with a minor.
Erskine pled guilty to the charge in October 2014. He was detained following his February 2014 arrest and was returned to custody at the conclusion of the sentencing hearing.
The evidence at Erskine’s guilty plea and sentencing hearings showed that, while the six-year-old daughter of a military member was visiting another residence on Fort Gordon military base in the Fall of 2013, Erskine, who was living in that residence at the time, exposed his penis to the girl, and asked her to touch it.
When questioned about the accusation, Erskine admitted the conduct. The investigation arose out of comments made by the girl to a relative, who reported the information to the girl’s mother. The mother then contacted Army Criminal Investigation Division (CID) who undertook a forensic interview of the girl, and interviewed several other individuals, including Erskine.
It was later learned that Erskine engaged in the same type of behavior on at least two other occasions.
The FBI’s Cyber Crime/Child Exploitation Task Force (CCCX) also assisted with the investigation. The case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide U.S. Department of Justice initiative designed to protect children from exploitation and abuse.
Assistant United States Attorney Nancy Greenwood, Deputy Criminal Chief in the Augusta U. S. Attorney’s Branch Office, prosecuted the case on behalf of the United States. For additional information, please contact First Assistant United States Attorney James D. Durham at (912) 201-2547.
