A Kyle, South Dakota, man has been sentenced to federal prison for making a false statement to authorities.
Robert Wayne Old Horse, 50, was sentenced on November 16, 2018, to 16 months in federal prison, followed by 3 years of supervised release, and was ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund and restitution in an amount to be determined.
The conviction stems from Old Horse reporting a false allegation of sexual contact against him by a physician working at Indian Health Services in Kyle.
Old Horse later admitted the allegation was entirely false.
The investigation was conducted by the Office of Inspector General, Health and Human Services.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Sarah B. Collins prosecuted the case.
Old Horse was immediately remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
The case against Old Horse began on April 17, 2018, when he was charged with making a false statement.
Old Horse, a resident of Kyle, South Dakota, was sentenced in the U.S. District Court in Pierre, South Dakota.
The exact amount of restitution is yet to be determined.
