Carter Lake Man Sentenced for Possession of Child Pornography

News

May 19th, 2017 by Ric Hanson

A Pottawattamie County man was sentenced Friday (May 19th) to slightly more than eight-years in prison on child pornography charges. According to the U-S Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa, 41-year old Mitchell Eugene Obrecht, of Carter Lake, was sentenced by United States District Court Judge Rebecca Goodgame Ebinger to 97 months in prison for possession of child pornography. Obrecht will be required to serve 10 years of supervised release following his imprisonment.

On January 30, 2017, Obrecht pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with possession of child pornography on or about September 18, 2015. The charge resulted from an investigation into the posting of a video and an image, each depicting child pornography, on a social networking site. Law enforcement followed up with a search warrant of Obrecht’s residence and located two computers that contained over 1,000 of images of child pornography.

The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, Carter Lake Iowa Police Department, and Douglas County Nebraska Sheriff’s Office conducted the investigation. The case was prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa.

Supreme Court rules in case against landlord and fees

News

May 19th, 2017 by Ric Hanson

The Iowa Supreme Court issued a mixed ruling in a lawsuit against an Iowa City landlord. Tenant Joan Walton sued landlord Martin Gaffey in 2014 saying some of the fees and charged in the lease — including carpet cleaning — were not legal. Walton also sought to have the lawsuit made a class action to include other tenants. Gaffey contended the contested provisions are not prohibited under Iowa Code, and Walton has no claim because the provisions were never enforced against her.

The Iowa Supreme Court ruled the carpet-cleaning provision is unenforceable, but left open the possibility that other fees and damages are recoverable by Gaffey after the case goes back to the district court for review. The Supreme Court also reversed the class action ruling in favor of the tenant, but says that does not rule out that Walton can establish the grounds for certification when the district court reviews the case.

The Supreme Court issued a similar ruling in a case involving tenants of Southgate Property Management. It also sent that case back to the district court for review.
