Life in prison for Kayenta man who sexually abused children

March 31, 2014 4:31 pm

A Kayenta man was sentenced Monday to life in a federal prison after being convicted by a jury for sexually abusing three children.
According to information from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Billy C. Young, 61, was found guilty in January on two counts of aggravated sexual abuse of a minor, one count of sexual abuse of a minor and one count of sexual abuse.

Evidence at trial showed Young molested three different girls on the Navajo Nation over a 25-year period, and all of the victims were under the age of 15 when the abuse happened. The crimes happened while the girls were sleeping.

“Those who sexually abuse children rob them of their childhood and their innocence,” stated U.S. Attorney John S. Leonardo in a press release. “This sentence ensures that Young will never again have the opportunity to harm another child.”
