A 35-year-old man from Eagle Butte convicted of Abusive Sexual Contact of a Child and Failure to Appear has been sentenced in US District Court.
Theodore Taylor, Jr. a/k/a “Tedder”, plead guilty to both charges. Taylor must serve 11 years and 6 months in federal prison, followed by 5 years of supervised release.
The Abusive Sexual Contact of a Child conviction stemmed from multiple incidents between 2013 and 2016, on the Cheyenne River Reservation, when Taylor knowingly engaged in and attempted to engage in sexual contact with a child who had not yet turned 12 years old.
The Failure to Appear conviction comes from in incident in August 2019 when Taylor was ordered to report to the custody of the US Marshals Service for knowingly violating conditions of his release on bond.
Taylor was immediately turned over to the custody of the US Marshals Service.
