     (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.
