IOWA FALLS – An Iowa Falls man has been released from jail, but faces charges of felony sexual abuse and possession of child pornography.
Gary Havens, age 71 of Iowa Falls has been charged by the Hardin county sheriff and Iowa Falls police with five crimes. He faces charges of felony B sexual abuse in the second-degree from 2008 and 2015.
In addition, he faces three counts of first-offense purchase/possess depiction of minor in sex act. Iowa code 728.12(3) states that it shall be unlawful to knowingly purchase or possess a negative, slide, book, magazine, computer, computer disk, or other print or visual medium, or an electronic, magnetic, or optical storage system, or any other type of storage system which depicts a minor engaging in a prohibited sexual act or the simulation of a prohibited sexual act. A person who commits a violation of this subsection commits an aggravated misdemeanor for a first offense.
Records show Iowa Falls police arrested Havens on February 3 on warrants. He was jailed on $100,000.00 cash or surety bond; it appears he was released the next day.
