United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that a Wagner,
South Dakota, man convicted of two counts of Aggravated Sexual Abuse of a Child
was sentenced on August 19, 2019, by U.S. District Judge Karen E. Schreier.
Jeremy Aungie, age 33, was sentenced to 35 years in federal
prison on each count to run concurrently, 5 years of supervised release on each
count to run concurrently, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime
Victims Fund in the amount of $200.
Aungie was indicted by a federal grand jury on June 6,
2018. He was found guilty as a result of
a federal jury trial in Sioux Falls on June 6, 2019.
The conviction stemmed from Aungie's repeated sexual abuse
of a juvenile female from the time she was 8 years old until she was 13 years
old. The sexual abuse was often
accompanied by physical abuse such as hitting, slapping, pulling of hair, and
choking.
This case was investigated by Yankton Sioux Tribal Law
Enforcement, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey C. Clapper
prosecuted the case.
Aungie was immediately turned over to the custody of the
U.S. Marshals Service.
