Nasty Woman Gets Prison for Child Sex Abuse

(Evergreen, Alabama) A 42-year-old woman, Glenna Faye Wiley, pleaded guilty on Tuesday to two counts of child sexual abuse and was sentenced to two concurrent 10-year terms in prison.

Wiley (aka Glenna Faye Marshall, Glenna Faye Cavender) was convicted of abusing her own children, a 17-year-old boy and a young girl.

There was no plea bargain in the case and, according to Conecuh County District Attorney Tommy Chapman, she will have to serve at least three years before she is eligible for parole.

Facing trial in November on the same charges is Glenna's husband, 59-year-old Jack Wiley. Husband Jack, however, is not biologically related to the children.

News observers may recall the case of the Wileys who were apprehended after an intuitive and persistent Georgia woman, Tracie Lee Dean, encountered the little Wiley girl at a convenient store and became suspicious.
Dean saw a young girl who seemed to be unattended. When Dean tried to talk to her, an older man intervened, and, Dean said, she felt threatened by him. The girl tried to go with her, Dean said. As she stood holding the door, the man grabbed the door, too, telling Dean she could leave.

Once outside, Dean called 911 and told the operator about the upsetting encounter. She even took down a license plate number from the man's car.

Soon, though, officials told her that the man was the child's grandfather, and all was OK. Dean refused to accept that and for days worked online and on the telephone checking for missing children.

Feeling sure that the girl was in danger, Dean drove 300 miles back to the store, persuaded a store employee to let her see security tapes and met a sheriff's deputy, who followed up on her story.

On Jan. 20, 2006, officers arrested Jack Wiley, then 58, and his wife, Glenna Faye Wiley, then 40. The two had been scamming churches and relief agencies for years by following natural disasters across the Southeast and pocketing handouts, officials said.
The children are reported to be doing well in foster homes.
