Judge sentences Northeast Nebraska man for sexual assault of a minor, faces possible deportation

WOODLAND PARK, Neb. (KTIV) – A Northeast Nebraska man was sentenced to prison after being convicted in May.

Authorities say 51-year-old Henry Pena-Urrutia of Norfolk was sentenced to six years in prison. The Stanton County Sheriff’s Office says Pena-Urrutia was also given 18 months of post-release supervision and will have to register as a sex offender after his time in prison.

In May, Pena-Urrutia pleaded guilty and was convicted of one count of sexual assault involving a minor. Deputies say the man also faces sex offense charges in both Kearney and Buffalo County after the sheriff’s investigation.

Stanton County deputies say Pena-Urrutia also faces possible deportation from the United States as he is here on a green card from El Salvador.

Pena-Urrutia was arrested in December 2025 after an investigation by the Stanton County Sheriff’s Office. As previously reported, the sheriff’s office was contacted by the Sherman County Sheriff’s Office about a possible sexual assault suspect who lived in Stanton County.

An investigation led the sheriff’s office to determine that a minor, younger than 11, was sexually assaulted at a Woodland Park residence.

Law enforcement was led to Pena-Urrutia after an interview with the minor. During an interview with Pena-Urrutia, he reportedly admitted to improper sexual contact with the minor on several occasions.

The two children in his Norfolk home were removed by deputies and placed in the custody of DHHS.
