Cherry Creek Man Sentenced on Sexual Contact Charge

U.S. Attorney Brendan V. Johnson announced that a Cherry Creek man charged with sexual contact with a minor was sentenced on December 17, 2012, by U.S. District Judge Roberto A. Lange. Marlem Dupris, age 59, was sentenced to 21 months of imprisonment, a $100 assessment, and a period of supervised release of five years.

Dupris was indicted by a federal grand jury in July 2012. On October 4, 2012, he pled guilty to count one of the indictment that charged him with sexual contact with a minor.

The conviction stems from an incident that occurred between May 2005 and October 2007 in Cherry Creek, South Dakota, when Marlem Dupris engaged in an act of sexual contact with a minor.

This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Mikal Hanson prosecuted the case.

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