Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Black Hawk County, Andrea J. Dryer, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Doyle, P.J., and Mullins and May, JJ. Opinion by May, J. (12 pages)
William Riley appeals his conviction for sexual abuse in the third degree. OPINION HOLDS: (1) There was sufficient evidence that the sexual act was by force or against the complaining witness’s will. (2) Iowa Code § 814.7 (2019) precludes consideration of Riley’s ineffective-assistance claim. (3) The district court did not abuse its discretion in overruling Riley’s objections to a nurse’s testimony.
