United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that an Eagle
Butte, South Dakota, man has been indicted by a federal grand jury for First
Degree Burglary and Aggravated Sexual Abuse.
Shawn Iron Hawk, age 25, was indicted on February 20,
2019. He appeared before U.S. Magistrate
Judge Mark A. Moreno on March 18, 2019, and pled not guilty to the Indictment.
The maximum penalty upon conviction is up to life in federal
prison and/or a $250,000 fine, 5 years of supervised release, and $100 to the
Federal Crime Victims Fund. Restitution
may also be ordered.
The Indictment alleges that on December 30, 2018, Iron Hawk
entered a home occupied by an individual and sexually assaulted the victim.
The charges are merely accusations and Iron Hawk is presumed
innocent until and unless proven guilty.
The investigation is being conducted by the Federal Bureau
of Investigation and the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement
Services. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jay
Miller is prosecuting the case.
Iron Hawk was released on bond pending trial. A trial date has not been set.
