3-19-15 Iowa:DES MOINES — A 79-year-old Iowa man convicted of kidnapping and sexually abusing an 11-year-old girl has died in prison.
The Iowa Corrections Department says Robert Padgett died Tuesday of natural causes stemming from dementia. He'd been housed at the Iowa State Penitentiary Hospice Care Unit.
Padgett was a convicted sex offender who'd been released from prison in April 1978 when he kidnapped the girl in 1979 from a dance studio in Fort Madison.
Police say Padgett took the girl to a motel in Coralville, held her captive there and sexually abused her for two days. He released her in Sigourney. ..Source.. by Iowa City Press-Citizen
