A West Branch man has been given a two-year jail sentence on an indecent exposure conviction.
According to the police report, the incident in question occurred in December of 2023 at the Iowa City Walmart. Officers were called to the store to take a report of a male who had exposed himself to a child.
The 11-year-old stated that 46-year-old Dustin Hills was following her in the toy aisles. When she looked over at him, she allegedly saw him stroking himself, with his penis and scrotum exposed.
Surveillance video allegedly shows Hills following the victim out of the toy aisle just before the girl reported the incident to her mother and store employees.
An image of Hills was posted to the ICPD Facebook page. Hills reportedly contacted police to ask that his photo be removed from the site, leading to his arrest.
In August, a jury took just 12 minutes to convict Hills of Indecent Exposure in the Presence of a Minor. The two-year sentence, handed down by Judge Jason Burns on Thursday, was the maximum allowed by Iowa Code. Hills will also be required to register for the Sex Offender Registry and serve a ten-year special parole upon completion of his sentence.
