Iowa City man charged for sexual abusing teen relatives

Iowa City Police Department arrested Christopher Wilson of 431 N. Lucas Street Thursday afternoon and charged him with two counts of third degree sexual abuse.

According to police complaints, Wilson, 34, sexually abused a male relative “on a weekly basis since the age of 12.”

The victim reported the alleged abuse to Iowa City Police on May 25, providing investigators with details about the multiple incidents of abuse.

Sergeant Denise Brotherton said during that investigation, police became aware that Wilson allegedly sexually abused another relative during 1996-1997.  At the time, that male victim was between the ages of 13 and 14 years old.

Police records indicate that second male victim and Wilson “were caught by a witness during a sex act that was unreported at the time to police.”  That witness has since provided information about observing that encounter to police.

Police records also indicate that “multiple victims have reported similar acts” that Wilson performed on them.

Wilson is being held at the Johnson County Jail on a $10,000 cash-only bond.  He is expected to make his initial appearance in court Friday morning.
