U.S. District Judge Henry T. Wingate sentenced a Philadelphia man Thursday to 10 years in prison for an assault resulting in serious bodily injury.

The decision against Kent Ali Dan, 26, was announced Thursday by U.S. Attorney Gregory K. Davis. The brutal assault against a woman occurred in the Bogue Chitto Community of the Choctaw Indian Reservation, according to Davis.

“The United States Attorney’s office will protect our most vulnerable citizens from horrendous acts such as this by prosecuting those responsible,” Davis said. “We thank the FBI and the Choctaw Police Department for their hard work in bringing this defendant to justice.”

The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Choctaw Police Department and was prosecuted by Criminal Chief Darren LaMarca.
