A federal judge has sentenced a Pine Ridge man convicted of Aggravated Sexual Abuse.
59 year old Robert Dowty, Sr., must serve life in federal prison, lifetime of supervised release, and ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
The conviction stems from Dowty forcibly sexually assaulting a child under the age of 16 years between June and September of 2018 at Pine Ridge. Additional victims testified at trial regarding past sexual abuse by Dowty.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Megan Poppen prosecuted the case.
Dowty was immediately remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
