Imprisoned Mason City man pleads guilty to sexual abuse charge

MASON CITY — A Mason City man already serving a prison sentence for sexual abuse has agreed to plead guilty in another sexual abuse case.

34-year-old Brent Champney was sentenced in 2016 to ten years in prison after being convicted of third-degree sexual abuse where he admitted to having sexual contact with a 14-year-old girl in October 2015.

Champney was later charged with one count of second-degree sexual abuse, one count of third-degree sexual abuse, and one count of lascivious acts with a child. A criminal complaint accuses Champney of sexually abusing a 14-year-old girl starting in 2007 and continued until a few months before he was sent to prison

. As part of a plea agreement, Champney this week pleaded guilty to one count of second-degree sexual abuse and will be sentenced on March 10th.
