Rapid City Man Sentenced for Failure to Register as a Sex Offender

United States Attorney Randolph J. Seiler announced that a Rapid City, South Dakota, man convicted of Failure to Register as a Sex Offender was sentenced on July 6, 2017, by U.S. District Judge Roberto A. Lange.

Trevor Red Bird, age 28, was sentenced to 14 months in prison, followed by 5 years of supervised release, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.

Red Bird was indicted by a federal grand jury on March 15, 2017. He pled guilty on April 17, 2017.

Red Bird was convicted of Abusive Sexual Contact With a Minor in U.S. District Court in May 2008. As a result of this conviction, Red Bird is required to register as a sex offender. Between September 15, 2016, and November 8, 2016, Red Bird failed to reside at his registered address and did not properly update his sex offender registration, as required by law.

This case was investigated by the U.S. Marshals Service and the Rapid City Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kirk Albertson prosecuted the case.

Red Bird was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
