September 26, 2023 Crime, Religion

Des Moines’ CBS affiliate reports:

A former Cambridge pastor accused of drugging and sexually abusing a child appeared at the Story County Courthouse Monday morning for a plea hearing and sentencing. Prosecutors say Mark Benson, 69, gave a young girl medicine to make her sleep, then sexually assaulted her several times between 2009 and 2012, when she was between 10 and 13 years old.

Benson addressed the victim and her family apologizing, asking for forgiveness. Many in court Monday shook their heads no.

Second District Judge Bethany Currie sentenced Benson to an indeterminate period of time behind bars but no more than the maximum of 10 years. He was given a five-year no-contact order. He must also pay a fine, submit a DNA sample for profiling and register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.
