Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Muscatine County, Gary P. Strausser, District Associate Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Badding and Chicchelly, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, P.J. (10 pages)
A defendant convicted of harassment challenges an order prohibiting him from having in-person contact with his two minor sons for five years. OPINION HOLDS: As the defendant did not preserve error on his challenge to the no-contact order involving his older son, we limit our review to the no-contact order involving his younger son and to his substantive due process challenge. Because we find the district court correctly determined that his younger son was a victim of the defendant’s public offense, and because the defendant’s substantive due process claim lacks merit, we affirm the ruling.
