Alberto Iskra's plea deal in rape case includes registering as a sex offender, waiving some custody credits and stipulation to prison sentence

I reportedon Alberto Iskra's August 2025 arrest by Eureka Police Department. After 10 continuances, I reported in the last two updates in the August 2025 post that a change of plea was scheduled. That post also has charges and the complaint. Count 9 was added after the original complaint was filed.

Iskra pleaded guilty to Count 1 forcible rape and Count 9 PC 261.5 (c) statutory rape with stipulation to prison terms. He has to register as a sex offender. Counts 2 to 8 dismissed by the People. Iskra waived credits prior to 2/13.

HCSO POP team with assistance from APD arrests 11 for drug charges and crimes against elderly people

Whiski Moran, one of the 11 arrested, was just at the Humboldt County Courthouse checking on a court date for a prior case. Humboldt Superior Court Operations Manager Kelly Nyberg often assists people on the second floor who cannot find their name on the calendar while she is doing multiple other duties making sure the courts are functioning and last minute changes due to judge disqualifications. Whiski was already released by the jail and is back on the streets.
