CHARLES CITY – A Greene man who was found guilty by a jury of raping a woman will spend up to 10 years in prison.
The Floyd county sheriff’s office filed a charge of third-degree sexual abuse against Stephen Brodersen, then living in Greene, Iowa, in Floyd county.
Court records show an alleged sex abuse crime took place on May 21 in Marble Rock while Brodersen lived there. Brodersen raped a female house guest from out of state who told him “no” more than once before he had sex with her.
Brodersen was served with an arrest warrant on June 13 and taken to jail in Charles City. He was then appointed a public defender. He posted a surety bond and was released, pending a court date on July 6. A Floyd County jury returned the guilty verdict on Thursday, October 6.
Brodersen’s sentence was handed down Friday, December 2 by Judge Christopher Foy. He must also pay $2,060.30 in court costs. He has already been shipped to the Iowa Medical and Classification Center in Coralville.
