(Des Moines, Iowa) – Officials with the Iowa DCI said Wednesday, that a former Pleasantville police officer charged with having sexual contact with a 15-year-old now faces more charges as part of the investigation. Authorities say 24-year-old  Alec Veatch,  was originally charged in Warren County with one count each of third-degree sexual abuse, lascivious acts with a minor and enticing a minor. Court documents show the former Pleasantville officer brought a 15-year-old to his Norwalk home and gave them alcohol. He then undressed the teen, touched them inappropriately and cut their thigh.

Criminal complaints show on the evening of Nov. 11, Veatch had a 15-year-old in his patrol car as a ride-along. Veatch concocted and fabricated a story to see the teen after his late shift, court documents note. He then contacted the teen’s mother under false pretense and told her he needed to pick up the teen to complete a witness statement during the ride-along. According to court documents, he then picked up the minor early the next morning and brought them to the police station in Pleasantville.

According to court documents, “While at the Police station, Veatch and the minor had inappropriate contact. The contact was sexual in nature. Veatch was observed on video from inside the Police Department kissing the minor and fondling the minor’s buttocks, over the minor’s clothing, in a sexual manner. Additionally, Veatch was seen on video placing the teen in a ‘sleeper hold’ causing the minor to momentarily pass out.”

The document said also, “Veatch was interviewed by the Iowa DCI and admitted that he was in a romantic relationship with the minor and had lied to the minor’s mother in order to see the minor again. Additionally during this interview Veatch admitted to touching the minor’s buttocks, for sexual purposes.”

DCI officials said he was taken to the Mahaska County Jail without incident Tuesday. The investigation continues.
