Minnesota man charged with sexual exploitation in Iowa

Steven Morrow, 46, of Eagle Lake, Minn. could face up to thirteen years in prison if convicted on charges of sexual exploitation, and enticing away a minor, said assistant Fayette County attorney, J.D. Villont.

According to the Fayette County Sheriff's office, Morrow tried contacting a 15-year-old female over the Internet and also tried to lure a minor away from home, said Fayette County Sheriff Marty Fisher.

Morrow faces one class C felony charge and two misdemeanors, according to court records.

Fisher said his department teamed with the Blue Earth County Sheriff's department in Minnesota to arrest the man on Wednesday.

Morrow was released on a $22,500 bond from a Mankato jail on Thursday afternoon.

After being issued a warrant both sheriffs' offices involved with the investigation searched Morrow's home. They confiscated a personal computer and other equipment for examination.

An attempt was made to reach Morrow at his Minnesota home, but he was not available for comment.
