Former Boarding School Director Loses Appeal Over Abuse Conviction 2025-02-01A former boarding school director, Benjamin Trane, has lost his postconviction relief appeal over his counsel ineffectively representing him after losing a second appeal to overturn his conviction for mistreating and sexually abusing students in 2023. Trane was convicted in 2017 of assaulting and sexually exploiting a female student and was sentenced to nine years in prison. He also was found guilty of child endangerment of two boys. The Supreme Court of Iowa unanimously affirmed all three of his convictions and reversed the second ruling that granted Trane a new trial, pointing to Trane's failure to show prejudice.
