United States Attorney Brendan V. Johnson announced that a Parmelee, South Dakota, man has been indicted by a federal grand jury for Aggravated Sexual Abuse.
Daryl Plumman, age 20, was indicted on May 15, 2013. He appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark A. Moreno on July 24, 2013, and pled not guilty to the indictment.
The maximum penalty upon conviction is up to life in custody, a $250,000 fine, or both; life of supervised release; and $100 to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. Restitution may also be ordered.
The charge is merely an accusation and Plumman is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
