Indictments Handed Down in Accomac

By Linda Cicoira
A former Accomack man, who was convicted last year in Maryland for having sex with a child, was indicted Monday by an Accomack grand jury on counts of embezzling from the Marine Science Consortium on Wallops Island while he was the office and finance manager there.
Dallas Fenton, 59, who lived on Lankford Highway in New Church, is serving decades for the sex offenses. He is in the Roxbury Correctional Institution, in Hagerstown, Md., but will likely be extradited from there to stand trial here.
Commonwealth’s Attorney Spencer Morgan would not comment on how much money or property Fenton is suspected of taking from the consortium. The indictments said he stole from the agency between January and March 2015, May and October 2016, and October 2016 and January 2017. Special Agent Robert Barnes, of the state police, investigated.
Fenton’s LinkedIn page also states he was once a business manager for Northrup Grumman at Wallops Island.
According to a report, Fenton was convicted of eight counts of a third-degree sex offense, sexual solicitation of a minor, and indecent exposure. He was sentenced to 38 years in prison with 15 years suspended. He met the 14-year-old through an app called Whisper, chatted with the girl on Skype, and then went to Wicomico County, Md., “four times where he had sex with the teen. At one point, he had sex with the juvenile on the side of the road and then dropped her off at a middle school dance.”
In another case, Keshawn Abbott, 26, of Fox Grove Road in Parksley, was indicted on counts of arson and burglary at a house belonging to Christopher Kuhn last July. Barnes investigated the arson. Deputy C. Hargis, of the Accomack County Sheriff’s Office, investigated the burglary.
