Man charged with assaulting boy, promising video game

MITCHELL, S.D. (AP) - Prosecutors say a Mount Vernon man sexually assaulting a 7-year-old boy after promising him a video game.

Court documents say 27-year-old Tyler Dobras was caring for the boy in June 2016 at a residence in Mitchell and told him he would buy a video game for him if he participated in a sex act.

The Daily Republic reports authorities say the boy agreed and finally told his mother this month. Dobras is charged with first-degree rape, a felony that’s punishable by up to life in prison.

An attorney for Dobras did not immediately return a call for comment.
