Waverly man sentenced to ten years in prison on Floyd County lascivious acts with a child charge

CHARLES CITY — It’s ten years in prison for a Waverly man who pleaded guilty to a sexual abuse charge in Floyd County.

43-year-old Michael Ahrenholz was charged back in November with second-degree sexual abuse, lascivious acts with a child and indecent exposure. Criminal complaints accuse Ahrenholz of inappropriately touching a child under the age of 12 in 2019 and exposing himself to a child in the summer of 2020 while swimming in a pool together.

As part of a plea agreement with prosecutors, Ahrenholz agreed to plead guilty to the lascivious acts with a child charge with the other two charges being dropped.

District Judge DeDra Schroeder this week sentenced Ahrenholz to a ten year prison sentence with credit for time served.
