Crime Rises in Rural South Dakota

A Norris, South Dakota, man has been sentenced to 18 months in custody for his role in the sex abuse of a minor. Jeremy Eagle Bear, 23, was handed down the sentence by U.S. District Judge Roberto A. Lange on January 13, 2014. In addition to his imprisonment, Eagle Bear was also ordered to serve five years of supervised release and pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.

Eagle Bear’s conviction stems from an incident that occurred on February 11, 2011, when he met the 13-year-old victim at a house party and had sexual intercourse with her. This disturbing crime has sent shockwaves through the community, leaving many to wonder how such a crime could occur.

The case against Eagle Bear was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services. Assistant U.S. Attorney Tim Maher prosecuted the case, bringing Eagle Bear to justice for his heinous crime.

Eagle Bear was indicted for Sexual Abuse of a Minor by a federal grand jury on August 21, 2013, and subsequently pled guilty on October 24, 2013. His immediate surrender to the U.S. Marshals Service is a testament to the swift and severe justice that awaits those who commit such crimes.

This case serves as a grim reminder of the dangers that lurk in every community. It is the responsibility of law enforcement and the community to work together to prevent such crimes from occurring in the first place. The Grimy Times will continue to shine a light on these dark issues, holding perpetrators accountable and bringing justice to the victims.

The details of this case are a sobering reminder of the importance of protecting our children and keeping them safe from harm. As a community, we must come together to support the victims and their families, and to work towards creating a safer and more just society for all.
