A South Dakota man has been sentenced to more than four years in prison for committing incest.
U.S. District Judge Roberto Lange also ordered the 40-year-old Winner man to follow his prison term with three years of supervised release. The man pleaded guilty to aggravated incest in January.
Authorities say the man sexually assaulted the victim in a vehicle when they were checking cattle together and driving around the family ranch in Todd County. The victim was younger than 18 when the incident happened, which authorities say was at one point between September 2013 and June 2015.
The Associated Press is not naming the man so as not to identify the victim.
The Capital Journal reports the incident came to light last summer when the victim mentioned it to a Bible camp counselor.
