Marshall D. Tourtillott (age: 26), a Neopit, Wisconsin man, was sentenced to 37 months imprisonment, followed by five years on supervised release for the sexual abuse of a 15-year-old female.
According to a federal indictment, Tourtillott engaged in sexual intercourse with the minor at a residence located on the Menominee Indian Reservation. Prior to the sexual conduct, Tourtillott and others had pressured the child into drinking alcohol with them.
The case was investigated by the Menominee Tribal Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Benjamin L. Whittemore.
United States Attorney James L. Santelle announced the sentence on December 13, 2013, which was the result of a guilty plea by Tourtillott on September 12, 2013.
The victim was a 15-year-old female. The crime occurred on the Menominee Indian Reservation, which is located in the state of Wisconsin.
The case highlights the need for increased awareness and prevention of child sex abuse, particularly in Native American communities where the rates of child sex abuse are disproportionately high.
It is essential for law enforcement agencies, courts, and social service providers to work together to protect children from predators like Tourtillott.
