Ames Former Nurse Pleads Guilty to Sex Trafficking 14 Victims
Carl Markley, 45, a former nurse practitioner from Ames, pleaded guilty to 15 counts of sex trafficking and coercion spanning 19 years. From 2004 to 2023, Markley manipulated 14 victims into performing sex acts, using false claims of certifications and research to justify his actions.
Markley operated the Wellness Clinic in Ankeny, where he fabricated consent forms and covertly recorded victims, including minors. He faces a mandatory minimum of 15 years per count and up to life imprisonment, with sentencing scheduled for March 24.
The investigation involved the Ames Police, FBI, and Iowa Department of Public Safety.

Cyclones Make History with 10 Wins!
For the first time in program history, Iowa State football secured its 10th win with a dramatic victory over Kansas State in the Farmageddon showdown. 🌪️ A historic achievement for the Cyclones, this win cements their place as one of the season's standout teams. Go Cyclones!
No. 15 Iowa State Dominates Middle Tennessee, 75-59
Iowa State bounced back in Florida, overcoming an early deficit to claim a commanding 75-59 victory over Middle Tennessee. Center Audi Crooks led with 21 points, while forward Addy Brown added 12 points and a team-high eight rebounds. A strong second-half defense held the Blue Raiders' key players in check, with Iowa State scoring 34 points after halftime. Efficient shooting (over 50% from the field) and defensive adjustments proved decisive. The Cyclones’ evolving lineup, including standout performances from guards Aili Tanke and Kenzie Hare, showcased the team’s depth and adaptability.
Iowa State Heads to Big 12 Championship After Historic Win
Fans rush the field after Iowa State beats Kansas State University 29-21 at Jack Trice Stadium on Nov. 30, 2024 in Ames, Iowa.
The No. 18 Iowa State Cyclones secured their first-ever 10-win season and a spot in the Big 12 Championship after a 29-21 victory over Kansas State, followed by BYU's win over Houston.
The Cyclones, led by head coach Matt Campbell, will face No. 16 Arizona State, a team that defied expectations in its first Big 12 season. Both teams enter the championship game with identical 10-2 overall and 7-2 conference records.
“This team has earned this opportunity,” Campbell said, reflecting on the historic achievement.
The championship game marks Iowa State’s first title appearance since 2020. Senior players, including wide receiver Jaylin Noel and defensive back Darien Porter, celebrated the milestone, emphasizing the significance of their accomplishments for the program and its future.
The Big 12 Championship kicks off Saturday at 11 a.m. in Arlington, Texas, and will air on ABC. The winner will secure a spot in the College Football Playoff.
