DUBUQUE — A man whose DNA linked him to sexual assaults reported years ago in Dubuque has pleaded guilty.
Martel Fountain Sr., 30, entered the pleas Monday to four counts of sexual assault. Four burglary counts will be dropped in return as part of a plea deal with prosecutors.
The deal calls for 10-year sentences for each count, to be served consecutively.
Court documents say Fountain assaulted three women in 2011 after forcing his way into their homes. The documents say another was raped in 2014 after Fountain forced her into her garage.
