Macy Man Sentenced for Aggravated Sexual Abuse with Children

United States Attorney Susan Lehr announced that Jason Walker, age 54, of Macy, Nebraska, was sentenced on November 15, 2024, in federal court in Omaha, Nebraska, for aggravated sexual abuse with children in Indian Country. Chief United States District Court Judge Robert F. Rossiter, Jr. sentenced Walker to 360 months’ imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal system. After Walker’s release from prison, he will begin a 7-year term of supervised release.

In February 2024, a minor victim disclosed to a trusted adult that Walker had inappropriately touched the minor victim on multiple occasions. Following a forensic interview during which the minor victim disclosed the extensive nature of Walker’s sexual abuse, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) began an investigation into Walker’s conduct which resulted in Walker admitting to sexually abusing the minor victim on more than 50 occasions over the course of a roughly two-year period.

Before pronouncing Walker’s 30-year sentence, Chief U.S. District Court Judge Rossiter described Walker’s criminal conduct, saying, “I think the word ‘horrific’ is appropriate, and perhaps not even enough here.”

This case was prosecuted in federal court because the offense was a felony and occurred on the Omaha Nation Indian Reservation in Nebraska.

This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
