The Mills County Attorney’s Office reports that a Mills County jury, Wednesday, deliberated for less than an hour before finding a Nebraska man guilty on three counts of Sexual Abuse in the 2nd degree – all are Class B felonies. 27-year old Laron Dpree Hampton, of Omaha, was formally charged on June 26th, 2017 with the offenses. Sentencing in his case is currently scheduled for 8:30-a.m., August 27, 2018.  A felony charge of Sexual Abuse in the 2nd degree carries with it 25-years of imprisonment.

Mills County Attorney Naeda Elliott says given the nature of the offenses, Iowa Code [Section 902.12] states Hampton must serve at least 70% before he will be eligible for parole. Hampton must also register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.
