Near the end of September, the Mahaska County Sheriff’s Office received a complaint that a 7-year-old female may have been sexually assaulted at a rural Mahaska County address. The complaint was that there may have been multiple incidents between this child and an adult male. It was reported that these incidents occurred between May 1st, 2017 and September 29th, 2017.

Also, as part of this investigation, Mahaska County Sheriff’s Deputies interviewed 67-year-old Robert William Hulseberg of 312 North Street, Williamsburg, Iowa. This interview took place at the Iowa County Sheriff’s Office on November 2nd, 2017.

Following Hulseberg’s interview, he was taken into custody and transported to the Mahaska County Jail, where he was incarcerated on three (3) counts of 2nd Degree Sexual Abuse, all class B felonies. Hulseberg will make his initial appearance in the Mahaska County District Court later this date.

As a reminder, a criminal charge is merely an accusation and all defendants are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
