Description:
Waterloo, Iowa criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with incest and sexual abuse of his daughter.
Staton was charged and convicted of two counts of sexual abuse in the second degree and incest arising out of the abuse of his daughter L.S. in Waterloo. He was not charged with an underlying sexual abuse of his daughter that took place in Butler County, but evidence of that event was used against him at trial. The specific underlying facts are not material to the resolution of the issue we address on further review, and we need not discuss them any further. What is relevant is what occurred at the sentencing hearing in 2022.
