CHARLES CITY – A man who has run for school board twice in Charles City, then was found guilty of sexually abusing a teen culminating in a prison sentence will go back on trial beginning August 1.
A Floyd county jury returned a guilty verdict in April of 2016 against 61-year-old Douglas K. Lindaman of Charles City; he was running for school board for the second time when he was arrested. The jury had worked for only a few hours before bringing back the verdict. His crime against a 17-year-old boy took place in spring of 2011. He was sent to prison for up to 10 years.
Lindaman – a convicted sex offender due to felony sex crimes he committed in the 1980’s – was later granted a new trial by the Iowa Supreme Court.
Lindaman aims to represent himself with assistance from other legal professionals. His trial date is scheduled for August 1.
