Fort Yates Man Listed as Tier 3 Sex Offender<\/h2>\n

Fort Yates<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 Eugene Owen Young is listed as a Tier 3 registered sex offender.<\/p>\n

The registry information supplied to TRF News places Young in Fort Yates, North Dakota.<\/p>\n

The record also lists Pepper Young as an alias.<\/p>\n

His latest verification date is listed as August 3, 2026.<\/p>\n

Federal Conviction Listed in 2018<\/h2>\n

The registry lists a federal conviction dated January 17, 2018.<\/p>\n

The listed offense is abusive sexual contact under 18 U.S.C. \u00a72244.<\/p>\n

That federal statute covers several forms of prohibited sexual contact.<\/p>\n

Different penalties can apply depending on the facts of a case.<\/p>\n

The supplied record does not identify a victim or provide case-specific circumstances.<\/p>\n

TRF News is therefore not adding details that are absent from the registry information.<\/p>\n

Readers can review the current version of federal sexual abuse law<\/a>.<\/p>\n
