Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Clinton County, Mark R. Lawson, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., and Tabor and Ahlers, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, J. (5 pages)
Michael Reicks appeals his indeterminate twenty-year prison sentence for two counts of sexual abuse in the third degree. He contends the district court considered unproven offenses from the victim impact statements and abused its discretion by imposing consecutive terms. OPINION HOLDS: Because the court averred it was not considering any unproven allegations and instead weighed appropriate sentencing factors, we affirm.
