HOSPERS, IOWA – An Iowa grandfather has been convicted by a jury of sex abuse of a child and the mother of the victim allegedly knew of the abuse for 2 years.
Sioux County Attorney Thomas G. Kunstle announced that Michael Dale Montgomery, age 64, of Hospers, Iowa, was convicted today in Sioux County District Court for the crime of Sexual Abuse in the Second Degree, a Class B Felony. Sioux County Attorney Thomas Kunstle prosecuted the case on behalf of the State of Iowa.
This case arose in May of 2018 when a child at school reported their grandfather had sexually touched them. A police investigation revealed the child had previously disclosed the touching to peers and the child’s mother at least two years earlier. During the investigation, a friend of Montgomery’s confronted him about the allegations, and Montgomery replied he didn’t do anything the child didn’t initiate first.
Montgomery pled not guilty and on July 9, 2019, the case proceeded to a jury trial. On July 11, 2019, a Sioux County Jury convicted Montgomery of Sexual Abuse in the Second Degree, but acquitted him of Lascivious Acts with a Child. Due to the conviction, Montgomery was immediately taken into custody pending the scheduling of a later sentencing hearing.
