State Trooper Loses Appeal Bid

The Wyoming Supreme Court has rejected the appeal of a former state Highway Patrol trooper convicted of exposing himself to a 5-year-old girl.
Jay Gruwell was convicted in Gillette in December 2009 of third-degree sexual abuse of a minor. He's serving a prison sentence of 4 to seven years.
Prosecutors said Gruwell exposed himself to the girl in May 2009 in Gillette. The 23-year patrol veteran had been stationed in Lusk. He denied the allegations at trial and told jurors he had confessed to investigators out of fear.
