A Charles City man is going to prison after taking a plea deal in a child sex abuse case, according to KIMT. 39 year old Randy McFarland was originally charged with second degree Sexual Abuse in November of last year. He has now entered an Alford Plea to two counts of Lascivious Acts with a Child. McFarland sexually abused a child under the age of 10 between January and August of last year. He has been sentenced to up to 10 years in prison and ordered to pay a civil penalty of $520. An Alford Plea means McFarland does not admit guilt but concedes there is enough evidence to convict him.
