A North Liberty man accused of indecent exposure and inappropriate contact with children has reached a plea deal.
31-year-old Andrew Oberbroeckling of Whitman Avenue entered a guilty plea on Monday.
Multiple children say that just before 8:15pm on the night of June 11th, 2019 they witnessed Oberbroeckling sitting inside of a playground structure at Penn Meadows Park in North Liberty. The children say Oberbroeckling had his shorts leg pulled up to the groin with his penis exposed through the bottom.
Several children reportedly saw Oberbroekling touching himself as they passed through the structure. Oberbroekcling also allegedly grasped a girl’s thigh, and touched another’s breasts.
Oberbroekling has children of his own, who police say were playing in the park at the time of the incident.
Oberbroeckling was initially charged with four counts of indecent exposure and two counts of indecent contact with a child. A protection order has been put in place for Oberbroeckling’s children and he has been banned from all North Liberty city parks for life.
If convicted on the original counts, he could have been sentenced to twelve years in prison.
Details of Oberbroeckling’s plea deal have not been released. A sentencing date has not yet been set.
