A horrific crime has shaken the Glacier National Park community. Eduardo Luis Diaz, 26, of Chicago, Illinois, has admitted to sexually assaulting another seasonal worker in Glacier National Park.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Diaz pleaded guilty to sexual abuse during a hearing in Missoula, Montana. This admission comes after a thorough investigation by the National Park Service.
The alleged assault occurred in July 2020, when Diaz and the victim, identified as Jane Doe, were both seasonal employees working in the park for a private contractor and living in employee housing. Doe became intoxicated at a party, and after passing out, Diaz sexually assaulted her. Another resident of the dorm assisted Doe after the assault.
When interviewed by a National Park Service ranger, Diaz admitted to engaging in sex with Doe.
Eduardo Luis Diaz faces a maximum life in prison, a $250,000 fine, and five years of supervised release. U.S. District Judge Donald W. Molloy presided over the hearing and set sentencing for June 24. Diaz was released pending further proceedings.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Kalah Paisley is prosecuting the case, which was investigated by the National Park Service. The alleged victim, Jane Doe, has not been publicly identified.
This disturbing incident highlights the importance of ensuring a safe working environment for all employees, particularly in isolated areas such as national parks.
