Three Individuals Sentenced for Child Neglect

Three have been sentenced for felony child neglect and felony child endangerment on the Red Lake Indian Reservation. 

According to United States Attorney Andrew M. Luger, Robin John Roy, (55) Nicole Robyn Roy, (29) and Harrison Edwin Dudley Sr. (36) willfully deprived minor victims of necessary food, health care, and supervision despite their reasonable ability to make the necessary provisions, resulting in substantial harm to the minor victims’ physical, mental, and emotional health.

All three defendants were found guilty of felony child neglect back in February. During sentencing late last week, Robin Roy received 24 months of probation, Nicole Roy received 12 months and a day in prison followed by three years of supervised release, and Dudley received four months in prison.

Authorities say that the child nearly died as a result of the defendants’ collective failure to provide needed care.
