MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) -- A former sheriff 's deputy convicted of sexually abusing a 16-year-old girl will return to the town where the crime occurred, but remain on home confinement.
33-year-old Robert Fields was convicted in 2007 of sexually abusing a girl in his office at Morgantown High School. At that time, he was a resource officer for the Monongalia County Sheriff's Department.
Fields began serving a 10 to 20-year sentence, but won early release in April after serving 2½ years of his term.
Since then, he's been on home confinement in Elkins.
Wednesday, Judge Russell Clawges approved a transfer back to Morgantown.
His lawyer says Fields can find work more easily in Morgantown.
But a prosecutor opposed the transfer because of Fields' law enforcement connections.
