A Basin, Wyoming man has been sentenced to more than 10 years in federal prison for sexually assaulting a woman on the Crow Indian Reservation. U.S. District Judge Susan P. Watters handed down a sentence of 125 months in prison to Duane Allen Swank, Jr., 36, followed by 10 years of supervised release. Swank was also ordered to pay $2,988 in restitution.
Swank pleaded guilty to sexual abuse in March 2025.
According to court documents, on July 4, 2021, Swank was driving a stolen car with Jane Doe and two other passengers. After dropping off the two individuals while in Billings, Swank sexually assaulted Jane Doe. The pair then drove toward the Crow Indian Reservation using back roads. During that trip, Swank stopped the vehicle and raped Jane Doe. Afterward, Swank fell asleep and Jane Doe was able to escape. DNA collected from Jane Doe matched Swank’s profile.
“The U.S. Attorney’s Office prosecuted the case. The FBI and BIA conducted the investigation.”
