BECKLEY, W.Va. (AP) — A former teacher at a Beckley music school has been sentenced to up to 20 years in prison for sexually abusing a young student.
The Register-Herald (http://bit.ly/22prKvl) reports 52-year-old Keith Janney was sentenced Monday in Raleigh County Circuit Court for sexual abuse by a parent, custodian, guardian or person of trust. Judge John Hutchison said Janney must serve at least 10 years before he is eligible for parole.
