To: The Iowa State House, The Iowa State Senate, and Governor Kim Reynolds
NO PLEA DEALS FOR CHILD MOLESTERS!
WE the undersigned agree that Iowa has a high volume when it comes to leniency of judges agreeing to Plea deals when it comes to child molesters/sexual abuse cases.
Why is this important?
Sexual abuse/molestation occurs whenever one person dominates and exploits another by means of sexual activity or suggestion.
Any sexual act, overt or covert, between a child and an adult through seduction or coercion.
Numbers are disturbing when it comes to child molestation/sexual abuse cases here in Iowa that are not facing appropriate prison time due to the laws we have in place.
We the citizens of Iowa are asking for our State legislators to put a bill in place to bring harsher punishment and stiffer penalties when it comes to these type of predators!
laws that continue to require to register as a sex offender and require life long probation and ankle monitoring .
as well as a life long no contact order in place for victim.
My granddaughter was sexually molested from ages 2 to 6 years old.
evidence was clear and founded by DHS as well as local law enforcement.
and confession of guilt by her grandfather Dean Hilpipre under oath in Court.
He was charged with two counts of sexual abuse 2nd degree.
which is a mandatory sentence of 25 years each count.
Assistant county attorneys negotiated a lesser charge that ultimately ended with 5 years probation and 5 years no contact order!
This needs to change!
