The former dean of students at Green Bank Elementary/Middle School was found guilty Thursday of two counts of sexual abuse by a person in a position of trust. Glen Wade, 57, could spend up to 20 years in a state penitentiary and be fined as much as $10,000.
He was originally charged with four counts of the same offense. Jurors convicted him on counts one and four of the indictment, while finding him not guilty of counts two and three.
The relationship between Wade and a then-16-year-old student at Pocahontas County High School is said to have gone on between December 2005 and February 2006, according to court documents. Defense attorney Paul Detch maintained that Wade was not in a position of trust because the girl did not attend the school where he worked and had reached the age of consent in West Virginia.

A Mount Hope High School band director who police said fondled a 17-year-old student during a bus trip last fall pleaded guilty this week to the lesser charge of misdemeanor battery after striking a deal with prosecutors.
Daryl Thornton Finley, 29, of Lewisburg, was indicted by a Greenbrier grand jury in February on one felony count of sexual abuse by a parent, guardian or custodian.

The incident occurred last Oct. 20 while the bus was traveling on Interstate 64 in Greenbrier County and returning home from a football game in Pendleton County, according to police reports. Finley was arrested 10 days later.
