Mason City man to stand trial for felony solicitation of a minor

MASON CITY – A Mason City man accused of felony solicitation of a minor has entered a not-guilty plea and is set to stand trial in November.

Mason City police filed a charge of class D felony prostitution against 38-year-old David Welsher, who claims via his public social media account to live in Mason City and work as “Staff Development Manager at Subway (KGB Inc.)”

A criminal complaint was filed against Welsher by Mason City police on June 18, alleging a violation of Iowa code 725.1(2)(b), which states, “A person who purchases or offers to purchase services as a partner in a sex act from a person who is under the age of eighteen commits a class ‘D’ felony.”  The alleged crime was committed on August 23, 2019, records show.

Welsher was jailed but released to the custody of Iowa corrections on June 19.

At a July 28 arraignment, a public defender entered a plea of not-guilty for Welsher. A pretrial conference is scheduled for November 9, 2020 at 1:00 PM and a jury trial is scheduled for November 24, 2020.
