CHARLES CITY – A Rockford man accused of six sexual abuse charges involving a child will now stand trial in March.
Records show that 42-year-old Brent Michael Drees was set for a jury trial in Floyd county court on January 27, 2015. However, Drees’ lawyer, Tim LaPointe, filed for a continuance. Soon thereafter, a new trial date was scheduled for March 10 and a pre-trial conference for February 23.
Drees is charged with five counts of felony C third degree sexual abuse, one charge of felony B second degree sexual abuse and one charge of child endangerment. The alleged victim was between the ages of 12-13 years old. The alleged crimes took place in March, July and August of 2013.
Drees, who worked in Mason City as a mechanic when he was arrested, remains in the Floyd County Jail on $130,000 cash-only bond.
