CHARLES CITY, Iowa (AP) — A Charles City man running for a school board seat has been freed on $10,000 cash bond after being charged with sexually abusing a teenage boy four years ago.

The Mason City Globe Gazette reports (http://bit.ly/1i9PNOP ) that 59-year-old Doug Lindaman was charged Thursday with sexual abuse, accused of performing a sex act on a 17-year-old boy without the boy's consent.

Charles City Schools Superintendent Dan Cox says school officials can do little to keep Lindaman from attending school events or board meetings. Lindaman didn't immediately return a message left Saturday.

Lindaman was convicted in 1988 on two counts of lascivious acts with two minors. He's not listed on Iowa Sex Abuse Registry because his crimes occurred before the registry was created.

He's due back in court on Sept. 4.
