Man Accused Of Sexual Abuse

{Charleston, West Virginia}...Jeremy Lane was in court Tuesday to face charges of first degree sexual abuse of his 5-year-old step daughter. Maureen Runyon, a victim's advocate from Charleston Area Medical Center testified that the little girl told her and showed her how Lane would allegedly perform sexual acts on her, and make her perform sexual acts on him. Runyon says the little girl said it happened 60 times, so she expects it happened numerous times. Runyon also testified that the little girl gave graphic details about the alleged abuse. Police say the abuse happened at the girl's mother's home in Sissonville, when the mom was away. Several people in the courtroom supporting Lane have started a petition proclaiming his innocence. The magistrate found probable cause to bound the case over to the grand jury and denied a request to reduce Lane's bond, leaving it at $100,000 cash.
