John Collett, a former Lewisville ISD Teacher of the Year and Denton County Best Teacher nominee, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for sexually assaulting a 10-year-old female student.
The elementary school teacher was arrested two years ago and charged with molesting the girl inside a classroom on two occasions after school, Scorecard reported.
In one incident, the girl told investigators she “sat on his lap, got a piece of candy, and fell asleep” because she was tired, only to wake up to him touching her inappropriately.
