A Page County man was sentenced earlier this week to 10-years in prison for 3rd degree sexual abuse, but the sentence was suspended and 26-year old Kenton John Alexander, of New Market, was placed on formal probation for three years. In addition, Alexander, who plead guilty to the offense earlier this month, must complete the Sexual Offender Treatment Program, and he’ll reside at the Residential Treatment Center until maximum benefits have been achieved. He was arrested last July, in Clarinda.
Alexander will be required to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life. The judge also ordered Alexander to be committed into the custody of the Iowa Department of Corrections for the rest of his life.

Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Isaiah Moss and Maishe Dailey each scored 16 points, as Iowa pulled away for an 80-73 win over Colorado at the Sanford Pentagon. The Hawkeyes trailed 51-48 with under 12 minutes to play, but Cordell Pemsl converted a key bucket and Dailey knocked down a go-ahead 3-pointer _ one of only three converted in the game for Iowa _ to put the Hawkeyes in front for good 53-51 with 10:35 left.
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — J.P. Macura scored 15 points and ninth-ranked Xavier hung on to beat host Northern Iowa 77-67 for its seventh straight win. Trevon Bluiett scored 12 points with seven rebounds for the Musketeers, who went on an 11-2 run down the stretch, highlighted by a Bluiett 3, to break open a tie game. Macura’s breakaway dunk and 3 in the final 95 seconds left sealed it for Xavier, which shot 12 of 23 from 3-point range.
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — James Palmer Jr. had 18 points and Nebraska opened up a 19-point lead midway through the first half and turned back a second half Delaware State surge to take an 85-68 win. Nebraska ran off 14 straight to go up 20-6 on Thomas Allen’s layup with 12:56 left in the opening half, and stretched that to 28-9 over the next four minutes.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters says he chose to throw an officials’ flag in frustration during a loss to the New York Jets, so he had nobody to blame but himself for the resulting one-game suspension. Peters spoke briefly Friday for the first time since the incident three weeks ago. He returned last week to force three turnovers in a win over the Chargers.

DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) — One adult and two children have died and two other children were injured in a mobile home fire in Davenport. Firefighters responded Thursday night to the fire at the Five Seasons mobile home park and found heavy smoke and flames. District Fire Chief Joe Smith says it took crews about a half hour to extinguish the fire. Officials wouldn’t identify those killed and injured until relatives could be notified. The injured children were taken to University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A nonpartisan group that reviews Iowa’s finances has estimated a shortfall of about $37 million in the current $7.2 billion state budget. The Legislative Services Agency provided the data in a report this week. The agency adds the next state budget, set to go into effect in July, has an expected shortfall of about $65 million. That’s due to built-in increases like plans to return money to Iowa’s emergency reserves, which helped plug previous budget shortfalls.
KEOKUK, Iowa (AP) — A southeast Iowa jury has found a former boarding school director guilty of abusing students. WGEM-TV reports that on Friday morning jurors found Benjamin Trane guilty of intent to commit sexual abuse, sexual exploitation and child endangerment. The jury began deliberating Thursday afternoon. Trane was the owner and director of Midwest Academy in Keokuk. The school was closed in January 2016.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — A western Iowa businessman has pleaded guilty to evading federal income taxes. Prosecutors say 49-year-old Michael Collins, of McClelland, entered the plea Thursday in a U.S. District Court in Council Bluffs. His sentencing is scheduled for May 11.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters says he chose to throw an officials’ flag in frustration during a loss to the New York Jets, so he had nobody to blame but himself for the resulting one-game suspension.
The Pro Bowl alternate spoke to reporters Friday for the first time since the incident three weeks ago, a full 2 minutes in which he also professed his affinity for cognac and plan to beat Miami on Sunday so Chiefs fans can “go home and put out the cookies and milk for Santa.”
Peters missed the Chiefs’ win over Oakland ago while serving coach Andy Reid’s suspension, but returned last week against the Chargers to pick off two passes and force a fumble in a 30-13 victory.
The win left the Chiefs needing only to beat the Dolphins to win the AFC West.
