Acting United States Attorney Dennis R. Holmes announced that an Anthem, Arizona, man convicted of Failure to Pay Child Support was sentenced on November 30, 2021, by U.S. District Judge Karen E. Schreier. Jacob A. Tate, age 45, was sentenced to five years of probation, $78,979.14 in restitution to the South Dakota Department of Social Services, Office of Child Support Enforcement, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100. Tate was indicted by a federal grand jury on June 6, 2018. He pled guilty on February 22, 2021. The conviction stemmed from the fact that Tate failed to pay child support from on or about October 1, 2012, through June 6, 2018. Tate has five children who live in South Dakota. Tate knew that a support order had been issued against him to pay child support, but he willfully did not make payments toward the child support. This case was investigated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General and the South Dakota Department of Social Services. Assistant U.S. Attorney Ann M. Hoffman prosecuted the case.
