\"\"<\/a>WASHINGTON \u2013 United States Attorney Ron Parsons and Oglala Sioux Tribe Attorney General Scott James are pleased to announce that the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), part of the U.S. Department of Justice, has awarded a three-year grant to the Oglala Sioux Tribe to combat domestic violence and other serious crimes.\u00a0 The Tribal Special Assistant United States Attorney (Tribal SAUSA) Initiative, financed through a partnership between OVW and the Bureau of Justice Assistance, funds and trains cross-deputized tribal prosecutors in federal law and procedure and investigative strategies so they can pursue domestic or sexual violence cases in tribal court, federal court, or both.<\/p>\n

Under this initiative, the Oglala Sioux Tribe will receive funding to hire an additional tribal prosecutor, who will also be appointed as a Special Assistant U.S. Attorney in the District of South Dakota, to prosecute domestic abuse, sexual assault, and stalking cases in both tribal and federal court.\u00a0 This new position will enable the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office and OST Attorney General\u2019s Office to increase their collaborative efforts to hold violent offenders accountable and bring justice to victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse living within the Pine Ridge Reservation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking closely with the Oglala Sioux Tribe to protect victims and prosecute violent offenders for crimes committed on tribal land is a top priority for my office,\u201d said U.S. Attorney Parsons.\u00a0 \u201cThis new position will help the Oglala Sioux Tribe take an even more robust approach to safeguarding domestic and sexual abuse victims and their families.\u00a0 We look forward to partnering with Attorney General James and his team in this critically important initiative.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThese additional resources to combat domestic violence crimes on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation were desperately needed,\u201d said Attorney General James.\u00a0 \u201cWe thank the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office for helping the tribe to acquire this grant.\u00a0 The Tribal Attorney General\u2019s Office looks forward to working with this new Special Assistant U.S. Attorney to hold offenders accountable and to bring justice to victims of domestic violence crimes.\u201d<\/p>\n
