PIERRE, S.D. (KFGO) – A Madison, South Dakota man has been sentenced for raping a six-year-old boy in a park in 2021.
Declan Nelson, 20, will spend 25 years in prison after pleading guilty earlier.
“Our thoughts are with the young victim and his family,” said Attorney General Jackley. “We also thank law enforcement and prosecutors for their efforts to hold this defendant accountable for his horrific acts.”
Nelson was also ordered to pay court-appointed attorney fees and other costs, as well as restitution to the family of the boy.
