Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Cass County, Amy Zacharias, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., and Vaitheswaran and Greer, JJ. Opinion by Greer, J. (5 pages)
Charles Mace Jr. pled guilty to one count of lascivious acts with a child, in in violation of Iowa Code section 709.8(1)(d) (2018), which is a class “D” felony. On appeal, Mace claims the court abused its discretion in sentencing him to a term of imprisonment not to exceed five years rather than granting his request for probation. OPINION HOLDS: Mace failed to prove the district court abused its discretion when deciding his sentence. We affirm.
