PIERRE — South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley recently announced that a Winner man has been sentenced to 25 years in prison, with 10 years suspended, after earlier pleading guilty to third-degree rape of a person incapable of giving consent.

Lionel Lee Eagle Hawk, 38, was sentenced Wednesday in Tripp County Circuit Court. The incident occurred on or about April 17, 2022, in Winner.

“This crime was committed by a direct care professional in a residential care facility for the developmentally delayed,” Jackley said. Agencies which investigated this case were the South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation, the Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit and the Winner Police Department.

The Medicaid Fraud Control Unit prosecuted the case.
