Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Webster County, John R. Flynn, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., and Tabor and Greer, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, J. (12 pages)
The State charged Paul Peterson with seven counts of third-degree sexual abuse and five counts of incest after he admitted to having sexual contact with his daughter. After a bench trial, the district court found Peterson guilty on all but two counts. Peterson appeals his conviction for assault with intent to commit sexual abuse and his overall sentence. OPINION HOLDS: Because the district court properly entered judgment on the lesser- included offense and did not abuse its discretion in sentencing, we affirm.
