A seasonal employee accused of raping another seasonal worker in Glacier National Park admitted to the charges Wednesday.

According to acting U.S. Attorney Leif Johnson, Eduardo Luis Diaz, 26, of Chicago, pleaded guilty to charges of sexual abuse during a hearing. Diaz faces a maximum life in prison, a $250,000 fine, and five years of supervised release.

U.S. District Judge Donald W. Molloy presided. Judge Molloy set sentencing for June 24. Diaz was released pending further proceedings.

The government alleged in court documents filed in the case that in July 2020, Diaz and the victim were both seasonal employees working in Glacier National Park for a private contractor and living in employee housing. The victim became intoxicated at a party and after she had passed out, Diaz sexually assaulted the woman. Another resident of the dorm assisted the victim after the assault.

When interviewed by a National Park Service ranger, Diaz told the ranger that he had engaged in sex with victim.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Kalah Paisley is prosecuting the case, which was investigated by the National Park Service.
