POWESHIEK COUNTY, IOWA – An Iowa man allegedly sexually abused a young girl under the age of 12 for up to a decade and possibly another child, and is now facing serious charges.

In early May of this year, the Poweshiek County Sheriff’s Office began investigating a series of sexual assaults involving a victim under the age of 12. These incidents occurred over a span of years ranging from approximately five to ten years ago. During the course of this investigation, a cold case was reopened that was originally reported in 1997 involving the same suspect and a second victim under the age of 12. On July 19th Richard Wayne Leedom, age 62 of Oskaloosa, was taken into custody at his residence pursuant to an arrest warrant.

Leedom was charged with three counts of 2nd Degree Sexual Abuse, a Class B felony, and one count of Indecent Contact With a Child, an aggravated misdemeanor. Leedom is being held in the Poweshiek County Jail on a $100,000 bond.

The Poweshiek County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation.

I’d say make him cut his own balls off! Now thats damn funny.

Sorry Stinky but there is nothing about this that is funny!

Probably better get “alleged” in your headline….

De Ball him and make him into a female and see how he likes it.

send him to prison, the cons in there don’t like a crime like this and his butt will go from o to O real fast
