Ex-editor sentenced for sex abuse
Wednesday, July 01, 2009 | No comments posted.
SALEM (AP) - A former newspaper editor has been sentenced to 20 months in prison for sexually abusing a teenager girl he met while teaching at a private school in Salem almost a decade ago.
At Tuesday's sentencing, Andrew Bolsinger apologized for the pain he caused, and did not look at his wife or children while being escorted out of a Marion County court in handcuffs.
Judge Joseph Guimond criticized Bolsinger for a "violation of trust." Bolsinger had sex with the underaged girl in 2000, and then had her follow him to Virginia where he resumed his journalism career before becoming editor of the Ashland Daily Tidings in 2003.
He was fired following his February 2008 indictment.
