MASON CITY – A man who voluntarily turned himself in to police in connection with an alleged sexual assault has agreed to a plea deal, sources tell NIT.
Court records do not yet reflect the plea deal, but a source close to 22-year-old Teven Isaac Corley revealed Tuesday that he has accepted a plea deal in which he will plead guilty to simple assault. The source indicated Corely will do no jail time and will not be placed on probation.
“I just wasn’t sure how a jury would go,” Corley told the source. “I just want this to be over.”
The alleged sexual assault allegedly took place in Mason City on May 8, 2013, against an un-named female. Corley was charged, along with Tommie Dean Laster. Both men were charged with felony sexual assault in the third degree.
Laster has a plea deal hearing set for May 19, 2014. His lawyer is Richard Tompkins. He is also awaiting a May 6 jury trial for felony drug possession – delivery of marijuana.

Before you start assuming and criticizing, you need to wait for the final outcome…it’s going to be a doozy. The accuser in this case is no stranger to making false claims. I cant speak about Tommie, but people who know Teven were blown out of the water by these allegations. He is NOT from Detroit or Chicago. If he was, does that make it ok to lock him up for a crime he didn’t commit? Bottom line, he was offered the plea due to lack of evidence. He had a choice…be done with it or drag it…
Another pedophile gets his felony charges dropped down to a simple assault in Cerro Gordo County. How awesome is that? Something seriously wrong with the justice system around here.
Maybe somethings wrong with your perception of the law instead. Did you even read the case file?
Exactly, Brocephus.
Two damn imports that should be shipped back where they came from. I can’t believe our prosecuter and judge are letting him off with a lessor charge.
