It should be noted a criminal charge is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty
SIDNEY, Iowa –
R Boyer
An 81-year-old Sidney man was sentenced on February 24, 2025, in Fremont County District Court following his conviction on two counts of Lascivious Acts with a Child, a Class C Felony. District Court Judge Margaret Reyes presided over the sentencing hearing.
In December 2023, during a separate investigation, deputies uncovered evidence that Ronald Dean Boyer had sexually assaulted a child multiple times in Fremont County between 2020 and 2023.
Following a thorough investigation, which led to multiple convictions of other suspects involved in other acts of sexual related offenses, in both state and federal court, Boyer was interviewed in August 2024. During the interview, he admitted to acts of sexual abuse, including offenses against minors dating back to the early 1980s.
Boyer was arrested on September 13, 2024, by the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office and initially charged with multiple offenses, including four counts of Sexual Abuse in the Second Degree, one count of Sexual Abuse in the Third Degree, and five counts of Incest. He was held on a $150,000 cash-only bond before sentencing.
As part of a plea agreement, Boyer pleaded guilty to two counts of Lascivious Acts with a Child, a Class C Felony, with an agreement for open sentencing. In Iowa, an open sentence means the court, rather than the prosecutor, determines the defendant’s punishment.
At sentencing, Fremont County Attorney Peter Johnson requested the maximum penalty allowed under Iowa law—two ten-year prison terms to be served consecutively. However, despite the State’s argument, Boyer was sentenced to two ten-year prison terms to be served concurrently. The court also imposed fines totaling $2,740.
Judge Reyes then suspended both the prison sentence and fines, deciding instead to place Boyer on probation for two years under the supervision of the Fourth Judicial District Department of Correctional Services.
As a condition of his probation, Boyer must reside at a residential treatment center until the Department of Corrections determines he has achieved maximum benefit. Additionally, he is required to register as a sex offender, submit to DNA profiling, and successfully complete Iowa’s Sex Offender Treatment Program, among other requirements.
The Fremont County Sheriff’s Office strongly objects to the court’s decision in this case. The sentence does not reflect the severity of Boyer’s crimes and fails to deliver justice to the victim and others affected. Lenient sentences for sexual offenses—especially against children—undermine public confidence in the legal system and may discourage other victims from coming forward.
We stand with all survivors of sexual abuse, especially children, and commend their courage in seeking justice. It is essential that our legal system acknowledges the harm suffered by victims and the ongoing risk posed by offenders like Ronald Boyer.
This case was investigated by the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office and prosecuted by the Fremont County Attorney’s Office with assistance from the Iowa Attorney General’s Office.

Sheriff Kevin Aistrope Reports:
On Sunday, November 17, 2024, at approximately 6:12 a.m., the Fremont County Sheriff's Office received a report of a woman at Grape Community Hospital, in Hamburg, Iowa, who had experienced a domestic assault. The Iowa State Patrol was requested to assist with the call.
The woman reported that she and her 1-year-old child had been kidnapped in Nebraska by a male acquaintance. He fled Nebraska law enforcement into Iowa. The man dropped her off at the hospital but fled with the child in a 2023 Kia Sorento. She also reported the man was suicidal and homicidal.
Fremont County deputies were informed that the Iowa State Patrol was pursuing the vehicle near the intersection of Highway 2 and Interstate 29 (Exit 10).
Deputies attempted to intercept the pursuit near Hamburg and began traveling northbound on Interstate 29 from Exit 1. They located the vehicle near the 5-mile marker, where it was being pursued by Iowa State Patrol troopers. The suspect vehicle was traveling southbound in the northbound left lane at a high rate of speed, while troopers followed in the southbound lanes.
The vehicle attempted to strike both Fremont County deputies. One deputy, a nine-year law enforcement veteran, pursued the suspect vehicle in the northbound lanes starting at mile marker 5, with emergency lights activated. Other law enforcement continued the pursuit in the southbound lanes.
Missouri authorities were notified as the pursuit crossed into Missouri.
Upon reaching the 123-mile marker of Interstate 29 in Missouri, The Kia Sorento collided with a 2013 Ford Focus traveling northbound in the left lane, as the Ford was passing a 2024 Volvo semi-truck. The Volvo swerved to avoid the crash but struck a 2023 Chevy Tahoe patrol vehicle driven by a Fremont County deputy, who was traveling southbound in the northbound lanes.
The Kia came to a stop on the northbound Nishnabotna River Bridge, fully engulfed in flames. The Ford Focus came to rest in the median, as did both the patrol vehicle and the semi-truck.
A Fremont County deputy, a 39-year law enforcement veteran, rescued the 1-year-old child from the burning vehicle. The child was airlifted to a hospital in Omaha with non-life-threatening injuries.
The Fremont County deputy struck by the semi was treated and released from a local hospital.
The Missouri State Patrol is investigating the collision.
The investigation is ongoing at this time.

Impaired Driving
As Iowans celebrate Independence Day, the Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau (GTSB) reminds all drivers, No One's a Good DRUNK Driver. In 2022, a person was killed every 39 minutes in a drunk-driving crash on our nation's roads. July 3 through July 7, law enforcement across the state will be on high alert for signs of drunk driving and taking necessary steps to remove these dangers from the road.
Every year, the Fourth of July stands out as one of the deadliest times on Iowa roads. Over the past five years (2019-2023), there have been 32 traffic fatalities during the holiday, with 50% of those being alcohol related.
“If you sense any level of buzz, it is your duty to stay away from the driver's seat. For some people, even one drink is too many to drive safely,” says GTSB Bureau Chief Brett Tjepkes. “Unfortunately, many drivers don’t realize how impaired they are or feel they’re still good to drive after consuming alcohol. That’s why GTSB launched a new campaign this year to remind Iowans, No One’s a Good DRUNK Driver.”
Lots of planning goes into Fourth of July festivities, plan for a sober driver. When a friend has been drinking and is considering driving, be proactive—take away the keys, find a safe ride home, or offer a couch.
The Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau works with city, county, state, and local organizations to develop and implement strategies to reduce death and injury on Iowa’s roadways using federally funded grants.
There are steps that you can take the will make your trips safer. Driving within the posted speed limits can give you more time to react in an emergency. Wearing your seatbelt will help protect you from an accident.

March 28, 2024
In a 2023 GTSB State Fair survey of over 1,450 Iowans, 51% admitted
to always or sometimes driving with a cell phone in hand. Based on the number of registered drivers in Iowa, that translates to over 1.2 million distracted drivers. Law enforcement is cracking down on distracted
driving. In 2023, over 9,000 drivers were issued citations for illegal use
of an electronic device while driving compared to 1,438 in 2022. *
GTSB is partnering with law enforcement across Iowa April 1-8, to
remind people...No One is a Good Distracted Driver. This
Enforcement effort occurs during April, which is National Distracted
Driving Awareness Month.
In the last several months we have had several major accidents that
have occurred in Fremont County due to distracted driving,
We are also going to be doing projects for impaired driving. So far in 2024 we have arrested twelve intoxicated drivers.
The deputies will also be looking for speeding, seatbelt and other general enforcement violations.
