SIOUX FALLS - United States Attorney Alison J. Ramsdell announced today that U.S. District Judge Charles B. Kornmann has sentenced a Sisseton, South Dakota, man convicted of Sexual Abuse of a Minor. The sentencing took place on November 5, 2024, in Aberdeen, South Dakota.

Daniel Oscar Seaboy, age 23, was sentenced to eight years in federal prison, followed by five years of supervised release. He was ordered to pay a $200 as a statutorily required special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.

Seaboy was indicted by a federal grand jury in April of 2024. He pleaded guilty on August 19, 2024.

In March of 2023, a 13-year-old female and a 14-year-old female were at Seaboy’s house visiting another minor female. Seaboy provided alcohol and marijuana to the girls. Seaboy then had sexual intercourse with the 14-year-old female and infected her with a sexually transmitted disease. Seaboy also had sexual intercourse with the 13-year-old female without her consent.

Separately, in October of 2023, Seaboy lured a 14-year-old female from her home, provided her with alcohol and a vape pen, and had sexual intercourse with her without her consent. Seaboy also infected this minor female with a sexually transmitted disease.

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.
