A Webster County jury found a Fort Dodge man not guilty of third degree sexual abuse last week.
According to court documents, Zachary Andrews, 32, was found not guilty in Webster County District Court of sexual abuse for an incident that occured in June 2026.
"I'm disappointed in the verdict in this matter but appreciative of the dedication of the jury," said Webster County Assistant County Attorney Bailey Cavanaugh. "The victim will continue to navigate the trauma suffered due to these events."
The case was investigated by the Fort Dodge Police Department and Investigator Larry Hedlund with the Webster County Attorney’s office and prosecuted by Cavanaugh.
