Nebraska inmate also faces Iowa child sex abuse charges

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — A man already serving time in Nebraska for child sexual assault faces similar charges in western Iowa.

The Daily Nonpareil reports (http://bit.ly/1iQTF7n ) that Rocky Ontiveros is charged with two counts of sexual abuse of a minor in Pottawattamie County. Online court records don't list the name of an attorney who could be contacted to comment on his behalf.

Iowa court documents say Ontiveros sexually abused two children from Nov. 1, 2013, to Sept. 19, 2014. His preliminary hearing in a Council Bluffs courtroom is scheduled for next week.

In August the 28-year-old Ontiveros was sentenced to 30 to 40 years in a Nebraska prison and must register as a sex offender. He'd pleaded guilty to sexual assault of a minor in Douglas County.
