Iowa man gets 10-year sentence for sexual battery, domestic abuse

An Iowa, La,. man has been sentenced after being convicted of sexual battery and domestic abuse battery charges.

Jacob Micah Allen, 23, was sentenced to serve 10 years with the Louisiana Department of Corrections for the sexual battery conviction. The sentence is to be served without benefit of probation, parole or suspension.

Allen was also sentenced to serve 12 years with the Department of Corrections on the domestic abuse battery conviction, with the first three years to be served without benefit of probation, parole or suspension.
