Colliers Man Sentenced for Sexually Abusing Child

A Colliers man Thursday pleaded guilty to first-degree sexual abuse by custodian and was sentenced to 10 to 20 years in prison.

Shaine Black, 26, of Colliers entered the plea before 1st Judicial Circuit Judge Michael Olejasz, who accepted the plea agreement reached by Black’s attorney, Robert McCoid, and Brooke County Prosecuting Attorney Allison Cowden.

Following his release from prison, Black will be required to undergo 50 years of supervised release and register for life as a sexual offender.

Other charges filed against Black were dismissed as part of the plea agreement.

Cowden said if the case had gone to trial, she was prepared to offer testimony by the investigating officer with the West Virginia State Police, the victim and another family member.

Asked by Olejasz if he had anything he wished to say to the court, Black replied, “I’m sorry.”
