1Opinion of the Court

LARSON, Justice.

The defendant, Stephen F. Woodcock, appeals his conviction of two counts of third-degree sexual abuse, Iowa Code §§ 709.1, 709.4 (1985), on the ground that evidence obtained through a search of his home was erroneously admitted at the trial. We affirm.

As a part of this investigation, the officers applied for search warrants for several premises, including the residences of the five suspects.
