TUCSON, ARIZ. — This is an official press release from the U.S. Department of Justice (Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)), published as received.
TUCSON, Ariz. – Ski Redfeather Johnson, 37, of San Xavier, Arizona, was sentenced on May 7, 2026, by U.S. District Judge Scott H. Rash to 340 months in federal prison. Johnson previously pleaded guilty to four counts of Abusive Sexual Contact with a Minor.
Between 2015 and 2020, Johnson engaged in abusive sexual contact with four different minor victims who were all under the age of 12 on multiple occasions at residences where he was living on the Tohono O’odham Nation. Johnson and the minor victims are enrolled members of the Tohono O’odham Nation.
“Ski Redfeather Johnson repeatedly preyed upon and stole the innocence of four children,” said U.S. Attorney Timothy Courchaine. “This 28-year sentence reflects the relentless work of FBI Special Agents and Tohono O’odham Nation Tribal Police officers dedicated to protecting these children and bringing their perpetrator to justice.”
“This sentence underscores the severity of Ski Johnson’s crimes and thanks to the courageous victim who came forward, he will spend the next 28 years in prison,” said FBI Phoenix Special Agent in Charge Rebecca Day. “The FBI and our partners remain devoted to identifying, investigating, and holding accountable those who seek to harm our most vulnerable.”
The FBI Phoenix Division’s Tucson Office and the Tohono O’odham Nation Police Department conducted the investigation. The U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of Arizona, Tucson, handled the prosecution.
