(Marquette, MI) – A disgraced member of the Hannahville Indian Community will be at least 64 years old before he is released from federal prison for molesting a child.
40-year-old Patrick Roy Wandahsega of Wilson, MI was sentenced to 24 years (288 months) in prison by U.S. District Judge Paul L. Maloney.
Wandahsega molested a six-year-old child at his Wilson home.
The tiny child reported the abuse to relatives, who contacted tribal police and a doctor.
Wandahsega was indicted by a federal grand jury on two counts of aggravated sexual abuse of a child, and abusive sexual conduct involving young children – and was convicted of the second felony by a jury in Marquette on October 27, 2017 after a four day jury trial.

U.S. Attorney Andrew Byerly Birge said the case is part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative designed to protect children from sexual exploitation and abuse.
Federal prosecutors worked with county and tribal prosecutors and the Internet Crimes Against Children task force (ICAC) to arrest those who abuse and exploit children.
