The former librarian of Glenville State College has been indicted by a Gilmer County
grand jury.
Ed Messenger, who has also been affiliated with emergency services in the county,
will stand trial on a charge of "interception of communications," for secretly
recording library employee Eileen Dixon in October, 2001.
The recordings were made at the Robert Kidd Library, without her knowledge or
consent. Campus security officer Phil Huff discovered the recording device above
some ceiling tiles in Dixon's office.
Presenting the case was special prosecutor Leslie Maze from Wirt County, after
Gilmer Prosecutor Gerry Hough removed himself.
Messenger will likely be arraigned on December 9.
