Former Creston Police Chief James Christensen and former assistant chief John Sickels face up to 25 years in prison if convicted.

Both were arrested following a report filed by an agent with the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation alleging that Sickels raped a female bartender in the early morning hours of April 18th at the Crestmoor Golf Club, while then-Police Chief Christensen watched.
