Jimcy McGirt Sentenced To 30 Years For Aggravated Sexual Abuse

MUSKOGEE, OKLAHOMA - The United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma announced today that Jimcy McGirt, age 75, of Holdenville, Oklahoma, was sentenced to 360 months imprisonment for one count of Aggravated Sexual Abuse in Indian Country.

On December 5, 2023, McGirt pleaded guilty to one count of Aggravated Sexual Abuse in Indian Country. As part of the plea agreement, McGirt confessed to sexually abusing a child in August of 1996.

"Today's sentence closes a chapter on a perpetrator who has attempted to evade the legal consequences of his actions at every turn," said United States Attorney Christopher J. Wilson. "For the victim, we hope it is but a beginning. To go into a courtroom-to fight to be heard and to be believed-that takes courage. To do so over three decades requires unimaginable fortitude of spirit. It is our hope the guilty plea and the sentence imposed bring some solace and comfort to those most effected by the defendant's crimes."

The Honorable John F. Heil, III, U.S. District Judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, presided over the hearing.

Assistant United States Attorneys Sarah McAmis and Kyra Jenner represented the United States.
