77-year-old Leon Albert Prince, a former Alabama Sunday school teacher, is charged with one count of sexual abuse of a child less than 12 years of age.
Prince was indicted by an Elmore County grand jury on Jan. 7 and was booked into the Elmore County jail on Jan. 24. He was released the same day after posting his $40,000 bail.
“Is he a danger to the public? Absolutely,” said Elmore County Chief Deputy District Attorney C.J. Robinson. Robinson said the January indictment stems from an incident that happened sometime in 2010 or 2011. The victim delayed reporting the abuse until recently.Prince served 15 years of a 30-year sentence for the sexual abuse of Allison Black Cornelius. Cornelius was 7 years old in 1972 when she says Prince, her Sunday school teacher, sexually abused her.Cornelius came forward 20 years after the abuse and testified against Prince in Jefferson County.
The Elmore County district attorney’s office said since his release from prison it is believed Prince has created opportunities for himself to volunteer with local programs serving young people.
