Description: Muskogee, Oklahoma criminal law lawyer represented Defendant charged with aggravated sexual abuse in Indian County and assault resulting in serious bodily injury in Indian Country.
On or about December 25, 2021, Ryan Christopher Dill, age 35, from Ada, Oklahoma, sexually assaulted a victim using force and by placing the victim in fear she would be subjected to death, serious bodily injury, or kidnapping. The indictment further alleged that the defendant assaulted the victim causing her serious bodily injury.
The charges arose from an investigation by the Ada Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma prosecuted the case because the defendant is a member of a federally recognized Indian tribe and the crimes occurred in Pontotoc County, within the boundaries of the Chickasaw Nation Reservation, and within the Eastern District of Oklahoma.
The Honorable Jason A. Robertson, U.S. Magistrate Judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, in Muskogee, accepted the pleas and ordered the completion of a presentence investigation report. Sentencing by the United States District Judge will be scheduled following completion of the report. Dill was remanded to the custody of the United States Marshal pending the imposition of sentencing.
Assistant United States Attorneys Anthony C. Marek and Caila M. Cleary represented the United States.
