Box Elder man sentenced to 30 years for sexually abusing two children.

(Box Elder) A Box Elder man convicted by a federal jury of sexually abusing two children at a residence on the Rocky Boy’s Indian Reservation was sentenced on June 25th to 30 years in prison, to be followed by 10 years of supervised release, U.S. Attorney Jesse Laslovich said.

The government alleged in court documents and at trial that in 2022 in a residence in Box Elder, on the Rocky Boy’s Indian Reservation, Saddler sexually molested and abused two girls multiple times. Both victims were under the age of 12 years old at the time.

After a two-day trial, a jury found 57-year-old Shawn Saddler Senior guilty on February 7th of aggravated sexual abuse and two counts of abusive sexual contact.

Chief U.S. District Judge Brian M. Morris presided.
