Not long out of prison, Pott. Co. man arrested on sexual assault charge

News

September 17th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

Authorities in Nebraska say a western Iowa man was arrested on additional sexual assault charges less than three weeks after he was released from prison. According to The Daily NonPareil, 48-year old Brian L. Marshall, of Council Bluffs, turned himself in Wednesday to the Sarpy County Jail, this as the Sarpy County Attorney’s Office prepares to charge him with first-degree sexual assault of a girl under the age of 12. Marshall will also be charged with two counts of manufacturing child pornography. Police in Bellevue, Nebraska, said the pornography included illicit pictures of the girl.

Marshall was taken into custody Wednesday morning and will remain in Sarpy County Jail until his bail hearing, which Sarpy County Jail officials said should take place on Friday. He was convicted on third-degree sexual assault on March 2nd and sentenced to a year in prison. Marshall served roughly five months at the Omaha Correctional Center before being released on Aug. 28th. He then moved to the 2400 block of Seventh Avenue in Council Bluffs.

While Marshall served time in Omaha, the Bellevue Police Department continued to investigate. Authorities found the child pornography allegedly owned by Marshall and also found evidence that he allegedly did more than just inappropriately touch the minor, which constitutes third-degree sexual assault in Nebraska. Once investigators determined that he allegedly had sex with the girl, Marshall was notified he would face a charge of first-degree sexual assault – a Class 1B felony. He should be officially charged by the Sarpy County Attorney’s Office today (Thursday), or Friday.

If convicted, Marshall could face up to 25 years in prison, due to his previous conviction for sexual assault.
