Eagle Butte Man Sentenced to Federal Prison for Sexually Abusing a Minor

PIERRE - United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced today that U.S. District Judge Eric C. Schulte has sentenced an Eagle Butte, South Dakota, man convicted of Abusive Sexual Contact. The sentencing took place on January 12, 2026.

Colton Condon, 24, was sentenced to one year and six months in federal prison, followed by five years of supervised release, and ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.

Condon was indicted by a federal grand jury in March 2025.  He pleaded guilty on October 1, 2025.

The conviction stems from an incident that occurred between October 1, 2023, and November 14, 2023, in Eagle Butte in the Cheyenne River Sioux Indian Reservation.  Condon, who was 21 years old at the time, had sexual contact with the victim when she was 14 years old.

This matter was prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office because the Major Crimes Act, a federal statute, mandates that certain violent crimes alleged to have occurred in Indian Country be prosecuted in Federal court as opposed to State court.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse, launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice.  Led by the U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and the DOJ’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children, as well as identify and rescue victims.  For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit https://www.justice.gov/psc.

This case was investigated by the FBI and the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services.  Assistant U.S. Attorney Wayne Venhuizen prosecuted the case.

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