Tuesday afternoon Jaron Rosien, Mayor of the City of Washington, turned himself in to Washington County Law Enforcement authorities on the criminal charge of Sexual Abuse in the  3rd Degree a Class C Felony. On Wednesday, January 11th an agent of the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation conducted an interview of a 27-year-old male who is currently a full-time enlisted member of the United States Military. The male had filed a report that same day to the Washington Police Department. The report in question stated that the male had sustained unwanted and inappropriate touching by Rosein on the night of January 7th. Due to the potential conflict of interest of the Washington Police Department conducting a criminal investigation involving allegations against the Mayor of the City of Washington, the investigation was almost immediately referred to the Iowa DCI. The investigation into this matter was conducted by Agents within the Major Crime Unit of the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation; assisted by the Office of the Washington County Attorney and the Office of the Iowa Attorney General – Area Prosecutions Division. KCII will bring you more information as it becomes official.
