A Tama, Iowa man has been sentenced to over 37 years in federal prison for repeatedly raping a child. Stephen Albert, 50, was sentenced by United States District Court Judge C.J. Williams in Cedar Rapids after a jury found him guilty of one count of sexual abuse by threat and force and one count of sexual abuse of a minor.
The evidence presented at trial showed that Albert regularly sexually assaulted the child between the summer of 2012 and October 2016. The assaults took place in various homes on the Meskwaki Settlement as well as at Albert’s place of employment.
Albert was sentenced to 452 months’ imprisonment, which is equivalent to over 37 years. He must also serve a ten-year term of supervised release after the prison term. There is no parole in the federal system.
During the sentencing, Judge Williams noted that Albert was “manipulative, controlling and domineering over his wife and children” and that through his actions Albert “reaped irreparable harm” to the victim.
Albert is currently being held in the United States Marshal’s custody until he can be transported to a federal prison.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Lisa C. Williams and Emily K. Nydle and investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Meskwaki Nation Police Department, the Tama City Police Department, and the Cedar Rapids Police Department.
