A Spearfish man was sentenced to five years in federal prison for attempting to receive child pornography during the 2019 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.
Stanley Lee Lumbardy, age 70, was sentenced on August 17, 2021, by Judge Jeffrey L. Viken, U.S. District Court. In addition to serving five years in federal prison, Lumbardy was ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund and a $5,000 special assessment to the Victims of Trafficking Fund.
Lumbardy will also be required to register as a sex offender under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act.
Lumbardy was arrested and federally indicted as a result of an undercover sex trafficking operation conducted during the 2019 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. The operation targeted internet predators. Lumbardy exchanged multiple chats with a person he believed to be a 15-year-old girl, but was in fact an undercover agent. Lumbardy requested photos from the 15-year-old undercover persona and negotiated a time and place he would meet the minor to engage in unlawful sex acts.
When Lumbardy went to the pre-determined location to meet the minor, he was instead met by law enforcement agents and placed under arrest.
The case was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations, South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation, Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, Rapid City Police Department, and the Pennington County Sheriff’s Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Sarah B. Collins prosecuted the case.
Lumbardy was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
