On Monday, Orlando Miguel Valenzuela, 28, of Tucson pleaded guilty to abusive sexual contact.
Sentencing is scheduled for April 10, before United States District Judge Cindy K. Jorgenson.
Valenzuela, an enrolled member of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe, admitted that when he was 18 or 19 years old and living on the Pascua Yaqui reservation, he engaged in sexual acts with a minor who was 11 or younger.
The plea agreement requires Valenzuela to serve 5-10 years in federal prison. After completing his prison sentence, Valenzuela will be placed on lifetime supervised release and be required to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.
