CORALVILLE – An Iowa man who plied his female teen sex abuse victim with shopping trips has died in a prison hospice.
Randall Lee Overman (pictured at top), age 76, was pronounced dead due to natural causes at 8:35 AM on Thursday, May 9, 2024 in a hospice room at the Iowa Medical and Classification Center. Overman had been serving a life sentence for the crime of third-degree sexual abuse out of Dallas County. His sentence began on June 19, 2007.
According to court documents, after a jury trial, Randall Overman was convicted of sexual abuse in the third degree. Allegedly, Overman regularly bought clothes and school supplies for C.W., his fifteen-year-old neighbor. C. W. testified Overman sexually abused her in his truck after a shopping trip in July 2006. After C.W. contacted the police, they arranged to tape a conversation with Overman, who made incriminating statements. At trial, Overman testified and denied the abuse while admitting to having fantasized about having sex with C.W.
