A man from Inscription House in Arizona has been sentenced to 13 years in prison for the sexual abuse of a minor. Oliver Lee Hurley, 48, was found guilty of the crime and sentenced by U.S. District Judge Dominic W. Lanza to 156 months in prison.
The abuse occurred in 2018, when Hurley sexually abused the minor victim at his residence on the Navajo Nation. As an enrolled member of the Navajo Nation, this case has sparked concern for the safety and well-being of those living on the reservation.
Hurley will serve his full 13-year sentence before being placed on supervised release for the rest of his life. This is a stark reminder of the severity of sexual abuse crimes and the importance of holding perpetrators accountable for their actions.
The investigation into Hurley’s crime was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Navajo Nation Division of Public Safety. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Jason Crowley and Sharon Sexton handled the prosecution.
This case serves as a reminder of the importance of keeping our communities safe from predators like Hurley. We must continue to work together to prevent such crimes from occurring and to support those who have been affected by them.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of Arizona, has been working tirelessly to bring justice to victims of crime. With cases like this, we are reminded of the importance of their work and the impact it has on our community.
