Authorities said a Durango boy gave an underage girl a drink that led her to pass out and then sexually abused her.
Matthew D. Pothoff, 17, is charged in Iowa District Court of Dubuque County with third-degree sexual abuse, a felony. He was arrested Sept. 9, according to court records.
Court documents state that Pothoff, then 16, gave a teen girl younger than him a “fizzy Kool-Aid drink” that made her dizzy and black out at his residence in October. She reported awaking to the Pothoff sexually abusing her.
The Dyersville Commercial does not identify victims of alleged sex crimes.
Authorities said a blood test found dextromethorphan — an over-the-counter cough suppressant — in the girl’s blood. A bottle in Pothoff’s kitchen also contained dextromethorphan, documents state.
