Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Dubuque County, Monica Ackley, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Ahlers, P.J., Buller, J., and Telleen, S.J. Opinion by Telleen, S.J. (9 pages)
A defendant appeals from his convictions on one count of second-degree sexual abuse, two counts of third-degree sexual abuse, and one merged count of lascivious acts with a child, arguing the district court abused its discretion in excluding evidence of his divorce and an alleged custody dispute as irrelevant. OPINION HOLDS: Finding no abuse of discretion, we affirm the defendant’s convictions.
