La Plant Man Indicted for Sexual Abuse of Minor

La Plant, SD – In a shocking indictment, a local man has been accused of the heinous crime of Sexual Abuse of a Minor. Henry Louis Chase Alone, 31, stands accused of the despicable act, which allegedly took place in July 2000 in Manderson.

According to sources, Chase Alone was indicted by a federal grand jury on January 21, 2015, and was subsequently arraigned before U.S. Magistrate Judge John E. Simko on February 4, 2015. In a stunning display of defiance, Chase Alone pled not guilty to the indictment.

The penalty for such a heinous crime is severe, with a conviction potentially carrying a life imprisonment sentence, as well as a $250,000 fine and a mandatory minimum of 5 years up to lifetime supervised release. Not to mention a $100 assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund, and restitution may also be ordered.

The investigation into Chase Alone’s alleged crimes was led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Sarah B. Collins handling the prosecution. The charges against Chase Alone are merely accusations, and he is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Chase Alone was detained pending trial, with no date set for the proceedings. The people of La Plant and surrounding areas are left reeling from the news, and Grimy Times will continue to follow this developing story.
