CHARLES CITY – A man who has run for school board twice in Charles City has been found guilty of sexual abuse.
A Floyd county jury returned a guilty verdict Tuesday afternoon for Douglas K. Lindaman, age 60, of Charles City. The jury had worked for only a few hours beginning Monday before bringing back the verdict.
Last August, Floyd county deputies had detained Lindaman at his home after a judge issued a warrant for his arrest on a charge of third-degree sexual abuse. The alleged crime took place in spring of 2011 against a 17-year-old boy.
Lindaman is a convicted sex offender due to felony sex crimes he committed in the 1980’s but was eligible to run for public office – school board, in this case – because his rights were restored. Since this latest arrest and crime was only a charge and not convictions, his name was not removed from the ballot last fall. He lost the election.
After the guilty verdict was read Tuesday, Lindaman was taken to the county jail. He awaits a June 7 sentencing hearing.
Lindaman has indicated he will appeal.

I met this POS, about 30 years ago. I knew the first time I looked at him that he was a pedophile. Then the way he treated me as a woman, was outrageous. He is a woman hater too. The sad thing is that he truly believes he did nothing wrong. The latest article stated that he was rubbing oil on the boys’ abdomen to treat Abdominal Epiiepsy— now that is rich. Then playing with his penis to help with repressed memories of possible sexual abuse… that is special. And, he said it was medically based, not for sexual gratification… I did not read anywhere, where he was a Doctor as well as a lawyer.
I agree with other posters– he will get his when he goes to prison. Unfortunately, I think he will enjoy it…
he will now get what he likes when he gets to prison. His A-Hole will go from o to O. cons dont like child molesters
Well, I would recommend that on the appeal, he should hire Peter Lagios, as he will have passed the bar by that time.
Casterate him so he won’t mess with children again.
Nail his balls to a tree stump & push him over backwards.
Sick bastard.
