A 22-year-old man from Lower Brule, South Dakota, was sentenced to 18 months in custody for sexually abusing a 13-year-old girl.
Ty Middletent, 22, was given 18 months in federal prison followed by five years of supervised release by U.S. District Judge Roberto A. Lange on February 25, 2013.
Middletent was also ordered to pay $100 to the Victim Assistance Fund, a fund set up to help victims of crime.
The charges against Middletent stem from an incident that occurred between August 13 and August 14, 2012, at a residence in Lower Brule. Middletent and the victim, who was 13 at the time, engaged in sexual intercourse after consuming alcohol together.
Middletent admitted to knowing the victim’s age and that she was too young to engage in any type of sexual activity.
The investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, with the case being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Meghan N. Dilges.
Middletent was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshal after his sentencing.
