A 35-year-old Pierre man has been sentenced to 15 years in the state penitentiary on one count of abuse or cruelty to a minor.
The charge against Gary Johnathan Martin was a class 3 felony because the victim was less than seven years old. The charge stems from an incident where Martin assaulted his girlfriend’s two-month-old son.
This case was investigated by the Pierre Police Department and prosecuted by the South Dakota Attorney General’s Office.
