Local man charged with third-degree sexual abuse

Iowa City police charged a local man with third-degree sexual abuse after he allegedly gave a minor alcohol and performed sex acts on her.

Kameron Scott Burnett, 21, 320 S. Dubuque St. Apt. 513, was charged Monday with third-degree sexual abuse.

According to a police complaint, the girl’s father called police to report his daughter was at Burnett’s apartment — where she was found when police responded.

Under Miranda, Burnett allegedly told police he committed four sex acts on the girl at his apartment in the morning hours Monday.

The complaint said Burnett told officers he provided flavored vodka to the girl knowing she was a minor and that she became intoxicated.

Records indicate the girl is four or more years younger than Burnett.

Third-degree sexual abuse is a Class C felony, punishable by up to 10 years in jail and a maximum fine of $10,000.
