Dayshon Jameer Lloyd-Reddin, a 20 years old man, was taken into custody at approximately 6:00 a.m. on February 20, 2026, at 770 Iowa St., according to Dubuque County arrest records. The location corresponds to the Dubuque Law Enforcement Center / jail intake facility, where many arrests are processed and booked.

The charges listed in the arrest report include:

1.  Sexual Abuse 3rd Degree – Child Victim, Person 4 or More Years Older (Felony)
This charge typically applies under Iowa Code when an individual engages in a sexual act with a child under 16 years old, and the perpetrator is at least four years older than the victim. It is classified as a serious felony with potential penalties including prison time.

2.  Sexual Abuse – Continuous Sexual Abuse of a Child – Forcible Rape (Felony)
This appears to reference Iowa’s continuous sexual abuse statute (Iowa Code § 709.17), which involves multiple acts of sexual abuse against a child under 14 over a period of time, often with aggravating factors such as force or coercion.

3.  Sexual Abuse 2nd Degree – Forcible Rape (Felony)
Second-degree sexual abuse (Iowa Code § 709.3) generally involves a sexual act with a child under 12, or with force or threat of force causing serious injury or involving multiple perpetrators, among other circumstances. The “forcible rape” specification indicates allegations of coercion or violence.

4.  Sexual Exploitation of a Minor – Cause to Engage in Act (Felony, listed twice)
These charges fall under Iowa Code § 728.12, which criminalizes causing or permitting a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing visual depictions (such as images or videos), or related exploitation activities. Each count is a separate felony offense.

The arresting officer is noted as Reisdorf, C. No additional details regarding the specific allegations, the age of the alleged victim, the nature of the relationship between the suspect and victim, or how the case came to police attention were immediately available in public arrest logs. Authorities have not released further information about evidence, potential victims, or ongoing investigations as of the time of this report.

Lloyd-Reddin was booked into the Dubuque Law Enforcement Center. Bond information, court appearance dates, and formal charging documents were not yet publicly detailed in online records, as processing may still be underway given the early morning arrest timing. Felony cases of this nature in Iowa are typically prosecuted by the Dubuque County Attorney’s Office and may involve coordination with state or federal authorities if child exploitation material is involved.

This arrest comes amid a broader pattern of child sexual abuse and exploitation investigations in the Dubuque area in recent months and years. For example, local authorities have handled multiple cases involving possession of child sexual abuse material, sexual relationships with minors, and exploitation charges against other individuals in 2025 and early 2026. These incidents underscore ongoing community concerns about protecting vulnerable children and the enforcement of strict Iowa laws against such offenses.

Anyone with information related to this case is encouraged to contact the Dubuque Police Department or Dubuque County Sheriff’s Office. As with all criminal allegations, charges are not proof of guilt, and the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Further developments, including any formal indictments, preliminary hearings, or additional details from law enforcement, will be reported as they become available.
