Harlan man faces sexual abuse, exploitation charges

A man from the western Iowa town of Harlan is facing charges of sexual exploitation and sexual abuse. Police say 46-year-old Terry Garnette allegedly assaulted his live-in girlfriend’s four-year-old daughter. The girlfriend reported Garnette to police after she allegedly found child pornography — including explicit pictures of her daughter — on his computer. Garnette is being held at the Shelby County Jail. The F-B-I and U.S. Postal Service are examining the computer, along with videos and C-D’s taken from Garnette’s home, and more charges may be filed.
