Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Scott County, Mark Fowler, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Schumacher, P.J., and Buller and Langholz, JJ. Opinion by Schumacher, P.J. (8 pages)
David Yingling appeals his civil commitment as a sexually violent predator under Iowa Code chapter 229A (2023). Yingling challenges the sufficiency of the evidence produced by the State to show he “suffers from a mental abnormality” making him “likely to engage in predatory acts constituting sexually violent offenses if he is not confined to a secure facility.” OPINION HOLDS: We determine sufficient evidence supports the civil commitment and affirm.
