BY ERIC V ANSICKLE news@waverly newspapers.com Sentencing for the former star of “The Bachelor” is currently set for Feb. 12, but the prosecution has filed another request for a contin- uance. Christopher Douglas Soules, 37, of Arlington, had pled guilty to leaving the scene of a personal injury accident, an aggravated mis- demeanor, on Nov. 13, 2018. He had reached a plea deal with prosecutors in regard to a rear-end accident on the night of April 24, 2017, that killed Kenny Mosher, 66, of Aurora. Soules sentencing could be delayed further Judge Dreyer may move Feb. 12 hearing for former ‘Bachelor’ star due to unavailability of victim’s widow, prosecutor January is ‘Slavery & Human Trafficking Prevention & Awareness Month’ in Iowa DES MOINES - On Thursday, Jan. 17, at 11 a.m. in the State Capitol Rotunda, Gov. Kim Reynolds signed a proclamation declaring January as “Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention and Awareness Month.” The Governor has been actively involved in this issue for many years and serves as an honorary board member for the Network Against Trafficking and Slavery. “The harsh reality is dozens of victims are being trafficked in Iowa every day and most traffickers go undetected and unre- ported. That’s why we must join together to prevent human trafficking and end this unspeakable crime in our state, nation, and around the world,” stated Gov. Reynolds. The Governor went on to say, “Having more eyes and ears available in every com- munity can help government officials, edu- cators, social workers, hotel staff, and law enforcement officers respond more effec- tively. We must let human trafficking vic- tims know that we’re fighting for their freedom and a better way of life.” Joining Gov. Reynolds and Lt. Gov. Adam Gregg was Dr. George Belitsos, the board chair of the Iowa Network Against Human Trafficking and Slavery. Immediately following the proclamation signing, Dr. Belitsos and Gov. Reynolds presented “Outstanding Anti-Trafficking Service Awards” to recognize five Iowans for their commitment to eradicating the crime of sex and labor trafficking. Those five individuals are Teresa Davidson, Joy Fopma, Motor Vehicle Enforcement Chief David Lorenzen, Stephen Patrick O’Meara, and Vanessa McNeal. “When the Network began 13 years ago, human trafficking was not recognized as a problem in Iowa. Thankfully, that has now changed and the response by Iowa communities and government agencies has greatly increased,” stated Dr. Belitsos. “The Network is very grateful for the support we have seen from Gov. Reynolds. She continually places a spotlight on this horrible crime, which raises public aware- ness. Today, we’re asking all Iowans to learn more about trafficking, become aware that it is happening in Iowa, and to report suspicious activity. If you see something, say something.” This week marked the first week of the 88th General Session of the Iowa Legislature. This means it is a busy and exciting week in Des Moines. The start of each legislative session means we hear from the Governor, Kim Reynolds, about the condition of the state, the Chief Justice of the Iowa Supreme Court, Mark Cady, and Major General Timothy Orr about the condition of the Iowa National Guard. In the Governor’s address, she high- lighted several goals and budgetary consid- erations for the upcoming year. Most notably, increasing K-12 education funding and further investing in mental health, especially for youth. Additionally, I was pleased to hear her request for legisla- tion to protect employers who hire workers with a criminal record. “With my re-election comes some new and additional responsibilities. For this ses- sion I was elected by my peers to serve as one of the four Assistant Majority Leaders in the Iowa House. Additionally, I was appointed to chair the Administration and Rules Committee. In addition to chairing the Administration and Rules committee, I am also serving on the Agriculture, Economic Growth, Natural Resources, and the Ways and Means com- mittees. Lastly, I sit on the Administration and Regulation Appropriations Sub Committee as Vice Chair. I want to close in thanking the members of House District 95 for your support. It has been and continues to be an honor and privilege to serve you and I look forward representing you in the Iowa House of Representativeness for another term.” Originally, Soules was charged with leaving the scene of a fatal accident, a Class D felony. The charge to which he pled guilty was a lesser-included one that would be punishable by up to two years in prison and between $625 and $6,250 in fines. Judge Andrea Dreyer had originally set a Jan. 8 sen- tencing, but one of Soules’ attorneys, Alfredo Parrish, had completed a criminal trial in Story County in December and wanted more time to help Soules with his presentencing investigation. Plus, Parrish was to begin another trial in Johnson County at around the origi- nal sentencing date. Dreyer then continued sentencing to Feb. 12 on Jan. 2. However, Buchanan County Attorney Shawn Harden filed a motion for further delay for two rea- sons. First, Mosher’s widow, Nancy, had a previously scheduled out-of-state trip during the month of February and wanted to be present for the hearing. She also indi- cated she would be unavail- able during the week of March 11. Harden added that Assistant Attorney General Scott D. Brown, who was the main prosecutor for this case, would be in the middle of another trial and would be unavailable for the Feb. 12 sentencing. In a response filing, Soules’ attorneys showed no resistance for another delay. Dreyer has yet to announce another date. On April 24, 2017, Soules was driving his truck into the rear of a tractor driven by Mosher in the 1000 block of Slater Avenue in Buchanan County. Mosher was severe- ly injured in the accident and later died. In the aftermath of the accident, Soules had called 911 and spoke with Buchanan County dispatch. They helped him try to render aid to Mosher until an ambu- lance arrived. However, before deputies came on scene, Soules left the area and went to his rural-Arlington home, in Fayette County. It took sev- eral hours for Fayette County deputies to execute a search warrant to apprehend him. In his plea, Soules admit- ted that he failed to “provide the registration number of the vehicle I was driving to 911 dispatch or law enforce- ment.” Soules became famous when he appeared on the 10th season of “The Bachelorette” and finished in third place. As a fan favorite, producers selected him to be the central figure of Season 19 of “The Bachelor,” where he selected Whitney Bischoff as his betrothed, but they broke up on May 28, 2015. After his “Bachelor/ Bachelorette” appearances, he also had a run on “Dancing with the Stars.” Before the accident, he was reportedly invited for the fourth season of “Bachelor in Paradise” that aired in August and September of 2017.
