Terri Smith was sworn in as Chief Judge of the Wind River Tribal Court in January 2018.

U.S. Attorney Mark Klaassen filed the criminal complaint on Oct. 23.

Tony Cercy was convicted in a trial in Hot Springs County in November for third-degree sexual assault of a woman at his former Alcova house in June 2017.

The Fifth Amendment prohibits being tried twice for the same crime, which is known as double jeopardy.

Kellen Sorber's sentencing is set for March 15.

The judge said the administration's policy on asylum seekers violates federal immigration law.

The case began when law enforcement took a report from the alleged victim on June 28, 2017, about an incident at Cercy's house at Alcova Lake three days before.

The case was then given to the jury shortly after noon Tuesday.

The jury's decision boils down to whether the prosecution has proved its case beyond a reasonable doubt to convict Tony Cercy -- who is presumed innocent.
