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.

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.

Governor Terry Branstad says the parents accused of mistreating two Iowa teenagers who’ve recently starved to death will be held accountable by the justice system — and the governor says staff in the Department of Human Services who did child welfare checks in both homes are trying to do the best they can.
“We have to review what went wrong and how we can do a better job to prevent these kind of things from happening in the future,” Branstad says. An outside consultant is being hired to review the state’s child welfare system. Natalie Finn of West Des Moines starved to death last fall, despite reports from neighbors and school officials who raised concerns about her home environment. Sabrina Ray of Perry, who also was 16, died last week and the medical examiner says she was severely malnourished. Child abuse investigators had visited her home as well.
“It just breaks my heart to see this happening in our state and I want to do all I can to try to prevent it from happening again,” Branstad says. A few Democrats in the legislature have called for the resignation of Iowa Department of Human Services director Chuck Palmer after this second case of an adopted teenager dying of starvation. Branstad says Palmer’s running the biggest agency in state government and it deals “tens of thousands” of child welfare cases.
“It’s such a terrible tragedy when you have a teenage child that starves to death or is mistreated,” Branstad says. “But I also want you to know that Chuck Palmer is a very dedicated public servant who has worked hard to deal with a lot of important issues, everything from the redesign of our mental health system to Medicaid, to protecting children.” Branstad says Palmer has “done a lot of good”and the agency has prevented tragedies.
“But we are very, very disappointed and upset that we have lost these young children and we obviously want to make sure we do everything we can to make sure this doesn’t happen again,” Branstad told reporters this afternoon. The Republican chairmen of the Government Oversight Committees in the House and Senate released a statement about their own investigation of the state agency.
The G-O-P legislators say the starvation death of a second child who was “on the Department of Human Services’ radar…confirms the need” for an examination of the state’s foster care system and how child abuse reports are handled.
