Abusive Sexual Contact with a Child Sentencing Leaves Community in Shock.

Eagle Butte, SD – In a disturbing turn of events, Daniel Briggs, a 28-year-old resident of Eagle Butte, South Dakota, has been sentenced to 135 months in custody for Abusive Sexual Contact with a Child. U.S. District Judge Roberto A. Lange handed down the sentence on April 28, 2014.

The heinous crime occurred between December 2010 and December 2012, when Briggs was living with the victim’s mother. During this time, Briggs had custody and control of the child victim, who was between the ages of 3 and 5 years old. The shocking incident took place when Briggs was babysitting the child, and he had the child perform a sex act on him.

The investigation into Briggs’ crime was a collaborative effort between the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services. Assistant U.S. Attorney Mikal Hanson prosecuted the case, bringing Briggs to justice for his despicable actions.

As a result of his conviction, Briggs will also face 5 years of supervised release, pay $43.20 in restitution, and a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. Briggs was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.

The community is outraged by Briggs’ actions, and many are calling for increased awareness and prevention of child abuse. The Grimy Times will continue to follow this case and provide updates as more information becomes available.

Briggs’ sentence is a stark reminder of the severity of child abuse and the importance of holding perpetrators accountable for their actions. The Grimy Times urges all readers to report any suspected cases of child abuse to the authorities immediately.
