ALBUQUERQUE – A federal judge handed down a 48-month prison sentence to a San Felipe man who was convicted by a federal jury of abusive sexual contact.

There is no parole in the federal system.

According to evidence presented at trial and other publicly available court records, between August 13, 2016, and February 13, 2017, Kyle Aguilar, while intoxicated, touched the victim's genitalia and breasts over her clothing. On one occasion, Aguilar unlocked the door to the room where the victim was watching a movie, came into the room, and began massaging the victim's back before touching her breasts and genitals over her clothes.

Upon his release from prison, Aguilar will be subject to 5 years of supervised release and must register as a sex offender.

U.S. Attorney Alexander M.M. Uballez made the announcement today.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs investigated this case. Assistant United States Attorneys Nicholas J. Marshall and Mia Ulibarri-Rubin are prosecuting the case.
