Lester Randall/Credit: Brown Co Sheriff's Office
(MSC News)--Former Kickapoo Tribal Chairman Lester Randall is going to prison.
That follows his sentencing Wednesday, with KSNT-TV reporting the U.S. District Court Judge sentenced Randall to 10-years in federal prison. He had already been ordered to pay restitution to victims.
Randall, who previously entered a guilty plea to one count of sexual exploitation of a minor-receipt of child pornography, was arrested in April of last year by the Brown County Sheriff's Office, following the execution of a search warrant, at a residence on the Kickapoo Reservation, located near Horton.
Beginning with an indictment for spousal abuse, he was later indicted for the child sex crimes, which prosecutors say happened between 2020 and 2022.
According to the TV station's report, the former Tribal Chairman, sentenced on Tribal Court charges including attempted homicide and arson, in January was banished from the tribe.
