United States Attorney Dennis R. Holmes announced that a St. Francis, South Dakota, man convicted of Child Abuse was sentenced on Feb. 3, 2022, by Chief Judge Roberto A. Lange, U.S. District Court.
Jeremy Iron, a/k/a Jeremy Red Tomahawk, age 37, was sentenced to 16 months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.
Iron was indicted by a federal grand jury on March 9, 2021. He pled guilty on Oct. 29, 2021.
The conviction stemmed from an incident that occurred on September 9, 2020, in Todd County, South Dakota, wherein Iron argued with a 15-year-old girl and then assaulted her by pulling her hair and bending her fingers back.
This case was investigated by the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kirk Albertson prosecuted the case.
Iron was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
