YAKIMA, Wash. – A White Swan man has been sentenced to prison for sexual abuse of minors.
Jeremiah Bobb, 27, was sentenced to 15 years in prison on one count of sexual abuse of a minor and 40 years in prison on one count of aggravated sexual abuse of a child. The sentences will run concurrently. Bobb was also ordered to lifetime federal supervision upon release from prison.
According to court documents, Bobb sexually assaulted two minors in a home on the Yakama Nation where he and the victims resided. The incidents occurred between 2016 and 2017. During the trial, witness revealed that Bobb engaged in a pattern of sexually assaulting or attempting to sexually assault females in households where he was residing.
“My heart breaks for the victims in this case. I am grateful for their courage to come forward and engage with law enforcement to seek justice,” stated U.S. Attorney Vanessa Waldref. “Children deserve to live in a world where they feel safe — free from abuse and the fear of abuse. Mr. Bobb was held accountable today due to the joint efforts of the Yakama Nation Tribal Police Department, the FBI, the United States Attorney’s Office and the community. By working together, we can continue to build trust and keep our communities safe and strong.”
