Child molester from Plummer gets about 22 years for new rape conviction

A Plummer, Idaho, man has been sentenced to about 22 years in prison after he was convicted in federal court of aggravated sexual assault.

Jeremey J. Bohlman, 37, of Plummer, was sentenced to 262 months in prison this week by U.S. District Court Judge Edward Lodge. Bohlman was convicted at trial in October of using force or fear against a female victim.

Bohlman previously was convicted in federal court of sexual abuse of a minor and failure to register as a sex offender.

“This defendant, through his conduct, well earned a 21-year prison sentence,” U.S. Attorney Wendy Olson said in a news release. “This office and its tribal and federal law enforcement partners are committed to protecting Native American women from sexual violence and to see that the perpetrators are punished.”

The case was investigated by the Coeur d’Alene Tribal Police and the FBI.
