DEADWOOD, S.D. — A former Army recruiter has been sentenced to three years in prison for rape and possession of child pornography stemming from a relationship with a Lead-Deadwood High School student he met online.
Authorities said Juan Otero of Chicago was arrested Feb. 12 at a hotel room after dropping the girl off at her school. He allegedly told police he had been at the school to enlist potential recruits.
The 22-year-old Otero pleaded guilty in August to three counts of rape and two counts of possession of child pornography. Prosecutors dropped four other rape counts and five counts of child pornography possession in exchange for the plea.
A grand jury indictment said the rapes happened in August 2008 and in February 2009. The child pornography charges relate to images from Otero’s computer of him and the girl.
