A former school resource officer in the Upstate will avoid prison time after admitting to sex crime charges against a student. Nicholas Cain Posey pleaded guilty in court Wednesday morning to a charge of sexual battery of a student.

The sexual acts happened in 2023 while Posey was a school resource officer at Westside High School in Anderson. Court records show that the incidents involved a 17 year old student and happened in Posey's office at the school and in the parking lot.

Posey was given a 5 year suspended sentence and five years of probation. If he violates the probation, he could be sent to prison to serve the 5 year sentence. He also was ordered not to have contact with the victim.
