Judge Kruse further ordered Trane to be transported to the Iowa Medical and Classification Center in Oakdale to serve his sentence as originally imposed. Trane appears to have requested a further appeal bond and has been denied, although the full order is not available at this time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In September 2017, Trane was accused of abusing the children under his control when he was the owner and director of the now-shuttered Midwest Academy, a notorious \u201ctroubled teen program\u201d located in Keokuk, Iowa. After the campus was <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/who13.com\/news\/search-warrants-executed-at-boarding-school-for-sex-abuse-investigation\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">raided<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, searched, and shut down by authorities in January 2016, Trane was eventually <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/khqa.com\/news\/local\/former-tri-state-school-owner-in-jail-on-sex-abuse-charges\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">arrested<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and charged with several counts of sexual and physical abuse. Trane\u2019s victims were minor children living full-time at the residential facility.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Midwest Academy was opened in 2003 by Trane and Brian Vaifanua, formerly the owner of another notorious teen program, Paradise Cove in the country of Samoa. After Paradise Cove shut down, Vaifanua sought property on which to open a new program in the U.S. and settled on Keokuk, Iowa. Trane took over Midwest entirely a few years later, running it with the assistance of his <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tspr.org\/post\/trane-sentencing-scheduled-judge-blocks-some-letters-support-public-view\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wife<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Layani. Midwest was a for-profit program claiming to specialize in reforming so-called \u201ctroubled teens\u201d, such those struggling with drugs and alcohol, performing poorly in school, or suffering from mental health issues. However, no due cause was required to place a child in the school, meaning the program would essentially accept any child whose parents were willing to pay. Reports of abuse were common throughout the facility\u2019s roughly 13 years in operation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trane was accused by the prosecution of horrific and shocking abuse of his position of power, including raping at least one underage girl, forcing underage girls to undress in his presence and model underwear for him as he critiqued their bodies, taking underage girls shopping for underwear at the local Victoria\u2019s Secret, and holding children in isolation rooms for days, far longer than the amount of time allowed by state law. The Des Moines Register conducted an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.desmoinesregister.com\/story\/news\/2016\/02\/13\/80-sheriff-calls-3-years-keokuk-boarding-school\/80202780\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">investigation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and, using public records requests, found that over 80 calls were made to the sheriff in 3 years in regards to Midwest Academy and of those 80 calls, 5 of those included sexual offense allegations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the trial, one victim testified that Trane had raped her between 7 and 10 times, including manual, oral, and vaginal rape. Other children testified to being forced to undress in front of Trane in a mirrored room for so-called \u201cbody positivity classes\u201d. Others still recounted how they had been held in \u201cseclusion rooms\u201d for long periods of time, forced to hold \u201cstress positions\u201d, and denied food. Prosecutors also alleged investigators had found semen stains in front of CCTV monitor in Trane\u2019s office, although the semen was apparently not able to be DNA tested. Pictures of sleeping girls were also found on Trane\u2019s phone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In December 2017, a jury convicted Trane of assault with intent to commit sexual abuse, sexual exploitation by a counselor or therapist, and child endangerment. Facing up to 9 years in prison, he was ultimately <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tspr.org\/post\/judge-sentences-former-boarding-school-owner-maximum-prison-sentence\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sentenced<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to that maximum in May 2018.Trane was also ordered to 10 additional years of supervised release and DNA profiling, required to register as a sex offender, and fined over $5,250 (the court waived another $2,700 of fines after Trane claimed to be indigent). Additionally, the court entered a 5-year no-contact order against Trane relating to his victim.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trane appealed his conviction and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.desmoinesregister.com\/story\/news\/crime-and-courts\/2019\/10\/11\/iowa-supreme-court-former-director-midwest-academy-raid-iowa-school-abuse-trane-keokuk-new-trial-ia\/3942367002\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">won<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a small success in 2019, leading to fears from his victims he might win a new trial and ultimately walk free. The Iowa Supreme Court <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehawkeye.com\/news\/20191011\/new-trial-possible-in-case-against-midwest-academy-founder-benjamin-trane\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ruled<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that Judge Kruse had made an error during the trial and sent the case back to Judge Kruse for additional hearings related to the credibility of the victim. In Friday\u2019s order, Judge Kruse appears to have determined the victim was credible and disposed of the issue. Further appeals from Trane may be forthcoming. However, the order appears to indicate any further appeals from Trane will be made from prison of necessity. Trane has reportedly been living in rural Idaho with family, and some fear he may attempt to flee custody.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read more on Midwest Academy and Paradise
