Eagle Butte Man Sentenced for Abusive Sexual Contact

United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that an Eagle Butte, South Dakota, man convicted of Abusive Sexual Contact was sentenced on May 19, 2020, by Chief Judge Roberto A. Lange, U.S. District Court.

Ryan Dupris, age 24, was sentenced to 36 months in federal prison, followed by 5 years of supervised release, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.

Dupris was indicted by a federal grand jury on September 10, 2019.  He pled guilty on February 25, 2020.

The conviction stemmed from an incident that occurred on January 2, 2019, in Eagle Butte, where Dupris knowingly caused a female victim to engage in sexual contact with him by threatening her.

This case was investigated by the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services.  Assistant U.S. Attorney Cameron J. Cook prosecuted the case.

Dupris was immediately remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
