VOGEL, Presiding Judge.

         T.D. appeals following the district court’s dispositional order adjudicating

him delinquent and imposing formal probation.1 The district court determined he

committed sexual abuse in the third degree, in violation of Iowa Code section

709.4(1)(a) (2015); assault with the intent to commit sexual abuse, in violation of

section 709.11(3); and simple assault, in violation of sections 708.1 and 708.2(6).

T.D. challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to support the conclusion he

committed the crimes in question and the court’s failure to grant him a consent

decree.     We affirm the adjudication and disposition under Iowa Court Rule

21.26(1)(a), (b), and (d) but remand for the entry of a corrected dispositional

order.

         The district court heard evidence T.D. committed certain acts upon three

separate victims. It then weighed the evidence and made credibility findings

before entering its lengthy and detailed ruling.             We review delinquency

proceedings de novo, giving weight to the fact findings of the district court,

especially as to the credibility of the witnesses, but we are not bound by those

findings. In re A.K., 825 N.W.2d 46, 49 (Iowa 2013). Upon our de novo review,

we agree with the district court’s reasoning and conclusions.

         We further find no abuse of the district court’s discretion in its dispositional

decision declining T.D.’s request for a consent decree. See In re J.J.A., 580

N.W.2d 731, 737 (Iowa 1998) (“Our review of a juvenile court’s decision to enter



1
  After the adjudicatory hearing, the district court found the State had proven T.D. had
committed the above referenced acts but withheld the entry of adjudication “pending
dispositional hearing.”

a consent decree is de novo, but only to the extent of examining all the evidence

to determine whether the juvenile court abused its discretion.”).

       However, we vacate that portion of the dispositional order that incorrectly

cited Iowa Code section 708.2(2), assault causing bodily injury, because this

does not comport with the evidentiary findings of the court. The court found T.D.

had committed simple assault under Iowa Code sections 708.1 and 708.2(6).

The State concedes this error. We therefore remand this matter for the entry of a

corrected dispositional order.

       AFFIRMED IN PART, VACATED IN PART, AND REMANDED.
