Sentencing date set for sex abuse case

A Sioux City man charged with sexually abusing a 12-year-old Newton girl has pleaded guilty to a lesser charge and will be sentenced in March.

Bradly Delk, 19, was charged with third-degree sexual abuse in August 2014 following an investigation by the Newton Police Department. He pleaded guilty this week to lascivious acts with a child, a Class D felony.

Delk is accused of sexually assaulting the victim at her Newton home in September 2013 while he was staying the night.

A March 7 sentencing hearing is scheduled at the Jasper County Courthouse. His felony charge is publishable up to a maximum five year prison sentence and maximum $7,500 fine.
