United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that a Fort Thompson, South Dakota, man convicted of Abusive Sexual Contact of a Person Incapable of Consent, was sentenced on Dec. 17, 2018, by U.S. District Judge Roberto A. Lange.
Darrell Touche, age 44, was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison, followed by 5 years of supervised release, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.
Touche was indicted by a federal grand jury on Feb. 14, 2018. He pled guilty on Oct. 2, 2018.
The conviction stemmed from an incident between Oct. 20, 2016, and Oct. 21, 2016, when Touche knowingly engaged in abusive sexual contact with an individual with the intent to abuse, humiliate, harass, and degrade them, when the victim was incapacitated.
This case was investigated by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Crow Creek Agency. Assistant U.S. Attorney Troy R. Morley prosecuted the case.
Touche was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
