Eureka Area Rape Facts

In and around the area of Eureka, MT, over the period of about 18 months, 11 women were sexually assaulted. Many of them were drugged, rapped and in some cases raped by multiple men. Some of these women were intimidated by the responding officer, embarrassed or too fearful of continuing victimization to report their assault to anyone other than the victim advocate.

The 6 women that did report their assault and filed a complaint with the police had their constitutional right to due process of law stripped from them by an incompetent Sheriff and his department.

Their lives have changed and they will never be the same because of their horrific experience and worse, they will never see justice. To the best of our knowledge, not one of the 6 reported cases has been prosecuted due to “lack of evidence”!

A major crisis event occurred in the lives of 11 women in the Eureka area. We believe this should never have happened and could have been prevented.r
