A federal judge has handed out the punishment for a 44 year old man from Allen convicted of Enticement of a Minor and Sexual Abuse of a Minor.
On the charge of Enticement of a Minor, Stacey Garnette, a/k/a Stacy Garnette, was sentenced to 18 years in federal prison, followed by 10 years of supervised release, and ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. As to the charge of Sexual Abuse of a Minor, Garnette was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison, followed by 10 years of supervised release, and ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. The prison sentences are to be served concurrently.
The conviction stems from Garnette, while employed at Red Cloud Indian School as a bus driver/mechanic, having an intimate relationship with a 14 year old female. Garnette used a cellular telephone to send messages to the juvenile female to induce her to engage in sexual activity.
This case was investigated by the FBI and the Oglala Sioux Tribe Department of Public Safety.
Garnette was immediately remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
