A homeless Hampton man was arrested on a Dallas County warrant Tuesday in connection with an October incident in which he allegedly broke into an Adel woman’s apartment and raped her.
Corey Ryan Casady, 36, homeless and formerly of 321 Fifth St. S.W., Hampton, Iowa, was charged with third-degree sexual abuse, first-degree burglary and third-offense trespassing.
According to court records, test results received April 18 from the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation laboratory indicated that Casady’s DNA matched the DNA of the suspect in a sexual assault investigation that began Oct. 2, 2022.

Casady is held in the Dallas County on a $50,000 cash or surety bond. He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing May 8 in Dallas County District Court.
