(AP) – A retired Garland County principal has been arrested
after allegedly having sexual contact with a 14-year-old female student he is
charged with sexually assaulting.
The Sentinel-Record reports 61-year-old Lester Curry was previously charged
with second-degree sexual assault and sexual indecency with a child after
authorities received a report of an incident involving him and the student in
May. He has pleaded not guilty to those charges.
The former Lake Hamilton Middle School principal submitted his resignation on
May 26.
According to a court document, the student says Curry made sexual contact with
her again after arranging to meet with her.
He was arrested Tuesday and charged with another count of sexual indecency
with a child. He remained in custody Wednesday and had a bond hearing scheduled
for Thursday.
