A shocking indictment has been handed down in the case against Jaron Thunder Hawk, a 20-year-old man from Porcupine, South Dakota. Thunder Hawk has been charged with three counts of Aggravated Sexual Abuse.
The indictment, which was unsealed on January 22, 2014, alleges that Thunder Hawk engaged in sexual acts with three children under the age of twelve in 2012 and 2013.
According to the indictment, the maximum penalty upon conviction is life imprisonment and/or a $250,000 fine, and a lifetime of supervised release.
