Primghar, IA (KICD)– A Sheldon man is going to prison on a sexual abuse conviction for offenses dating back nearly ten years.

37-year-old Leuanlong Thongvilay was arrested last May after a criminal complaint was filed by the Sheldon Police Department accusing him of having a sexual relationship with a child on multiple occassions back in 2014.

Online court records show Thongvilay was given up to ten years behind bars on Tuesday for one count of second degree sexual abuse and an additional two year suspended sentence for having indecent contact with a child. One additional count of each charged was dismissed by the court as part of a plea deal.
