NE Iowa School Board Candidate Charged with Sex Abuse

CHARLES CITY, Iowa (AP) — A convicted sex offender who's running for school board in a northern Iowa community has been arrested in another sex crime case.

Fifty-nine-year-old Doug Lindaman, of Charles City, was charged Thursday with sexual abuse. A criminal complaint accuses Lindaman of performing a sex act on a 17-year-old boy, without his consent, between March and May 2011.

Online jail records say Lindaman remained in Floyd County custody on Friday. Court records don't list the name of an attorney who could be contacted to comment on Lindaman's behalf.

Lindaman was convicted in 1988 on two counts of lascivious acts with two minors. He's not listed on Iowa Sex Abuse Registry because his crimes occurred before the registry was created.
