In late December the Eagle Grove Police Department received a complaint against Richardson regarding these allegations and requested the DCI to investigate.
As a result of the investigation, Richardson was arrested and charged on January 13 with Dissemination and Exhibition of Obscene Material to a Minor. Richardson was subsequently fired from the police department.
On Thursday the Wright County Attorney's Office announced additional charges filed against Richardson in the case. He is also facing one count of Sexual Exploitation of a Minor.
According to court records, Richardson is scheduled to be arraigned on February 14.

Top Industries That Attract 'Terrible' People
If you've ever wondered if other people perceive your job negatively, this post is for you. In one Reddit thread (which you can see here), people discussed the career fields they think have the most "terrible" people, and there were some very interesting takes. I've rounded up 18 different answers – let's see if your industry made this list: "I think, while not all people in Human Resources are terrible, the field does attract the kind of people who are looking to lord it over others. Busybodies, gossips, insecure people who let a little bit of power go to their heads." "HOA Management. Almost cost me my sanity. Thank goodness I left that field." "Spammers and scammers." –Express_Gas2416 "Cops. Even most of my buddies who were good guys before becoming cops became douchebags." "Nurses are either the sweetest people on earth or the devil." "Fitness, especially those who think they are 'influencers.' Bunch of narcissists and fake personas." –Superb-Attitude9606 "Anti-union consultants." "I used to work in meteorology, and while I met some good people in the field, I met A LOT of condescending assholes. That's a big reason why I no longer work in that field. It was taking a huge toll on my mental health." "For a year, I worked in loan sales (predatory max-interest loans targeting people who can't get loans anywhere else), and about 75% of my job was collecting. Skip tracing, digging through their social media, calling family members, etc. They wanted me to take over my own branch, and the money would have been great. I just could not do it." "Paparazzi." –Gizm00 "My mom was a home nurse who was also sometimes sent to do elderly care at aged care facilities. She would frequently get upset at both some of the staff and some of the management because of how badly some elders were treated." "Corrections officers. A lot of them are narcissistic predators, especially in my experience as a former CO who worked in 2 different maximum-security state prisons." "Marketing. I've been working in the industry for more than a decade, have had roles all around the world, and the overwhelming majority of people I've worked with have been immature, insecure, conceited, irascible, narcissistic, antagonistic, and, above all, pathologically self-absorbed. An absolute nightmare to be around." "That girl from high school who slides in your DMs on Instagram with the 'hey girly!' trying to sell you her fit tea." "Surgeons. I say this as someone who wants to be one. You need the perfect mix of insanity and egomania even to think you'll make it there, and the prestige of the career only further attracts those people." "The money only adds to it, as does the reaction when you tell others what you do. I'd say the douchebaggery of a surgeon is 40% learned from the pressure and abuse of academia/training, 20% internal ego, 10% how others treat them, and maybe 30% totally justified."–RegionEducational366 "Real estate. Narcissism runs rampant." "Lawyer here. We're a bunch of pretentious assholes who really like to argue about minutia and get paid to do it. Here's a dirty secret: half of the time, we don't actually agree with our client. But since they pay us to argue for them, argue we will!" And finally, "Entertainment industry. Far too many stories of rich people with too much power subjecting young and weak individuals at the bottom of the barrel to sexual harassment and promising success based on lies and promises that they don't intend to keep." What else belongs on this list? Let me know in the comments!

Where in the world is the watermelon man?
The Instagram message I sent went this way: Querido Ivan, ¿Dónde estás? Llevo un par de semanas preocupado por ti. ¿Dónde estás?… Dime que estás pasando desapercibido. … Dime que no estás en la cárcel ni en un centro de detención de mala muerte. O en el México cuerdo.' Ivan is the guy who sells cocos frios — cold coconuts — and watermelon, pineapple and mangos from a cart on an L.A. corner I pass by most days. For nearly a year, whenever I saw his bright rainbow umbrella, my mouth started to water. My usual order: two large chopped watermelon cups — one plain for my girlfriend, and one with a splash of chamoy and tejate, for me — handed over by Ivan or his little brother with a 'Here, my friend.' Sounds dangerous right? Like Ivan and his brother are criminal masterminds? Since the second week in June, as ICE, Homeland Security, the National Guard, the Marines and who knows who else took to the streets all masked up, war-fighting ready, and started disappearing Angelenos, I'd been worried about Ivan. Where was he? Hence the Instagram. I identified myself as tu amigo Miguel, the 'tipo' in the black Acura with the two-watermelon usual. 'Te extraño,' I said. I missed him and the watermelon. I said I hoped he was desapercibido — lying low — and not in a sleazy detention center or back in Mexico, which at least is a sane country. That lying low would be the best-case scenario for Ivan and his brother was absurd. Two guys providing Los Angeles with iced fruit were probably on the lam, unable to earn a living because the president of the United States thought 'real Americans' wanted their cocos frios cart. I told my friend Lance about Ivan's vanishing act. This was his response: 'My youngest son, Chris, went to Cal State Northridge and got his degree in chopping fruit, but he couldn't find a job, so he went to Stanford and got a master's in cocos frios, but still no jobs. Now, thanks to Donald Trump, my boy is going to be on the corner chopping fruit. Finally.' Into July, still nothing from Ivan. Finally, out of town on vacation, I heard back. 'Hola, amigo, estamos bien, muchas gracias habiamos.' One family member was taken, 'pero ya estamos bien' and 'cuanto se calmen los cosas … estaremos.' 'But we're fine' and 'when things calm down, we'll be back.' But when? 'A lot of ICE,' he Instagrammed. 'A lot of la migra.' Not yet. Days went by. Then on Monday, still out of town, I hear my phone's 'handoff' tone. A friend texted me a picture of the rainbow umbrella: 'Your watermelon man is back on his corner.' I tried Ivan. He messaged right back. I'll save you the Spanish: 'Hello, good evening. I'll be waiting for you here. In the meantime, continue enjoying your lovely trip. Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.' Who is this menace to society trying to fool? I owe Ivan $16. I didn't have cash for my last order in early June. Next week, I'll pay up beneath that beautiful rainbow umbrella. And get two more cups of watermelon to go. Michael Krikorian is a former Times staff writer.
