Amber Stewart

A northeast Iowa woman is facing charges after authorities said she allowed a man who’s on the state’s sex offender registry to care for her two children. Fayette County Sheriff’s deputies arrested 21-year-old Amber Lynn Stewart of West Union on Wednesday.

She’s charged with child endangerment after allegedly letting 29-year-old Allen Love, Junior of Clermont have “custody and control” of her two minor children.

Love was also taken into custody for violating his parole. He’s listed on the Iowa sex offender registry for third-degree sexual abuse. The Department of Human Services placed Stewart’s children with one of her relatives.
