Justice for Survivors: Demand the Maximum Sentence for Natosi Summers

Take Action. Add Your Voice. Stand with Survivors.

On August 24, 2019, three young women were assaulted. Two of them survived. One did not.

That young woman was 18-year-old Kaysera Stops Pretty Places, a beloved Crow and Northern Cheyenne community member. She was strong, kind, full of light and promise, and five days after that night, she was found deceased in a backyard in Hardin, Montana.

Kaysera is not included in the current charges. But her death occurred the same night two other girls were violently assaulted by Natosi Summers, one of the last people seen with Kaysera alive.

After nearly five years of silence and delay, Natosi Summers has finally been brought to court. He recently entered a plea of “no contest” to felony criminal endangerment, a plea that results in the same felony conviction and carries the same sentencing consequences as a guilty plea.

But let’s be clear, he has shown no remorse. He did not come forward on his own. He fled Montana and remained hidden for five years. His plea came only because he knew the State had enough evidence to convict him.

⚖️ Justice Must Be Served—For the Girls Who Survived

The two young women who survived that night have shown incredible courage by speaking out. They deserve more than a plea deal. They deserve justice. This sentencing is not just about holding one man accountable, it’s about showing survivors that their lives matter and ensuring our communities are safer moving forward.

Allowing someone who endangered three girls, ran from justice, and refused responsibility to walk away with a lenient sentence sends the wrong message. It tells victims to stay silent. It puts more lives at risk.

🛑 Why This Sentencing Matters

• Big Horn County has one of the highest rates of violence against Indigenous women and girls in the United States.

• Summers fled the state for five years before being brought to court.

• Three young women were assaulted that night. Two survived. One did not.

• Kaysera Stops Pretty Places is not included in the charges, but her death occurred the same night and under the same violence.

• This case is part of a bigger crisis, and what happens next matters to all of us.
