Sexual Abuse charge dropped against Haas

RED OAK — Contrary to a report published in this week’s Red Oak Express, a sexual abuse charges against Ian Haas has been dropped.
According to District Court records, the prosecution dismissed the sexual abuse second degree charge Dec. 6. Haas then pleaded guilty to a child endangerment (no injury) charge, and was sentenced to 90 days in jail, one-year probation, and a $625 fine.
However, the jail sentence and the fine were suspended, pending his completion of terms of the probation.
