Wolf Point Man Admits Sexually Abusing Minor

A Wolf Point man has admitted charges that he sexually abused a minor on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation, Acting U.S. Attorney Leif Johnson said.

Christopher George Follette, 33, made a plea of guilty to sexual abuse of a minor as charged in an indictment filed last November in U.S. District Court - Great Falls Division.

Follette faces a maximum 15 years in prison, a $250,000 fine and five years of supervised release. Chief U.S. District Judge Brian M. Morris presided. Morris set sentencing for May 27 and ordered Follette detained.

The prosecution said in court documents that, in 2019 and 2020, Follette sexually abused a minor, who was between the ages of 12 and 16.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Jared Cobell is prosecuting the case, which was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Fort Peck Tribes Department of Law and Justice and Wolf Point Police Department.
