Allen Man Sentenced 18 Months Jail Time for Sexual Act with Woman Who Was Sleeping

U.S. Attorney Brendan V. Johnson announced that a man charged with sexual abuse was sentenced on August 23, 2010, by U.S. District Judge Jeffrey L. Viken. Peter Lloyd Bull Bear, age 23, of Allen, was sentenced to 18 months of imprisonment, five years of supervised release to follow imprisonment, and ordered to pay a $100 assessment to the Victim Assistance Fund. Bull Bear was indicted for sexual sbuse by a federal grand jury in February 2010 and pled guilty to the charge in June 2010. He admitted to engaging in a sexual act with a woman who, at the time, was sleeping in her bed, and therefore was incapable of knowing what was happening to her at the time. This case was investigated by the Bureau of Indian Affairs Law Enforcement Services, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Oglala Sioux Tribe Department of Public Safety. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeremy R. Jehangiri prosecuted the case. Bull Bear was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshal’s Service.
