Two brothers from the Navajo Nation have been sentenced for sexually abusing a minor, following guilty pleas to coercion and enticement of a minor. Dustin Roy Rockmen, 33, of Navajo, New Mexico, was sentenced to 204 months in prison. Kenzie Roy Rockmen, 26, of Hunters Point, Arizona, received a sentence of 135 months.
Federal court documents state that between 2019 and 2022, the brothers used electronic communications to coerce a minor and engage in sexual acts with the child. Both men are enrolled members of the Navajo Nation.
After serving their sentences, both Dustin and Kenzie will be subject to ten years of supervised release and must register as sex offenders. There is no parole in the federal system.
"Acting U.S. Attorney Ryan Ellison and Acting Special Agent in Charge Philip Russell of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Albuquerque Field Office made the announcement today."
The investigation was conducted by the Gallup Resident Agency of the FBI Albuquerque Field Office with assistance from the Navajo Police Department and Navajo Department of Criminal Investigations. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Robert James Booth II and Mark A. Probasco prosecuted this case as part of Project Safe Childhood.
Project Safe Childhood is a nationwide initiative launched by the Department of Justice in May 2006 to combat child sexual exploitation and abuse by coordinating federal, state, and local resources to prosecute offenders who exploit children online and identify victims.
