He’s not being released from custody. The Iowa Court of Appeals ruled Wednesday (10/23) that 23-year-old Austin Keck of Wapello County is staying in custody as a sexually violent predator. In 2014, Keck, who was 18 at the time, was convicted of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl. He was given a five year suspended sentence, but repeatedly violated his probation by sending messages to underage girls. In 2017, Keck was committed to be in custody as a sexually violent predator. Keck has fought the commitment, claiming his probation wasn’t revoked for sexually violent behavior.
