Man gets 125-year prison sentence for sexual abuse

He pleaded guilty to assaulting three juveniles

LIVERMORE — A Humboldt County man has been sentenced to 125 years in prison for sexually abusing three juveniles, according to law enforcement and court records.

Nathaniel L. Depew, 38, formerly of Livermore, pleaded guilty to five counts of second degree sexual abuse on Tuesday.

District Court Judge Amy Moore immediately sentenced him to 25 years in prison for each count and ordered that the sentences be served consecutively, effectively sending him to prison for 125 years.

He will have to serve 70 percent of that sentence, about 87 years, before becoming eligible for parole.

Two counts of second degree sexual abuse result from a September 2024 case in which Laurens police charged him with molesting two girls, ages 8 and 12.

The three other counts of second degree sexual abuse result from a 2025 case in Humboldt County. In criminal complaints filed in that case, deputies wrote that on April 18, 2025, Depew went to a mental treatment facility in Cedar Rapids, picked up a juvenile and brought them to Livermore. There, he committed sexual acts on the victim and and produced visual depictions of those acts, according to the criminal complaints.

He was arrested on Aug. 15, 2025.
