DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A former Pleasantville police officer has been charged with several counts in a child sex abuse case. The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation said Tuesday in a news release that 30-year-old Alec Veatch was arrested Monday at his Norwalk home. Veatch has been charged with one count each of third-degree sexual abuse, lascivious acts with a minor and enticing a minor. Investigators say Veatch is accused of having sexual contact with a 15-year-old. Veatch was booked into the Jasper County Jail and later released on bond. No attorney was listed for Veatch in online court records, and a publicly-listed phone number for Veatch could not be found Tuesday.
