Two Iowa legislators and three other people were indicted on charges stemming from a bachelor party last April that led to reports of nude dancing and sexual misconduct. The misdemeanor charges ranged from indecent exposure to violation of the state’s gift laws. Held in Mingo, Iowa, the party was attended by 25 legislators in addition to legislative aides, lobbyists and reporters. Among those indicted by the Jasper County grand jury in Newton were Rep. Al Sturgeon, a Sioux City Democrat, and Rep. Ed Parker, a Democrat from Mingo and the legislator for whom the party was held.
