An Elmore County judge has raised the bail amount for Leon Prince.
. Elmore County Chief Deputy District Attorney C.J. Robinson called Prince a “danger to the public,” saying the original amount was not enough.
Prince’s indictment on Jan. 7 stems from an incident in 2010 or 2011. Prosecutors say the victim did not report it until recently. This is not the former Sunday school teacher’s first time facing such a charge. He previously served 15 years of a 30-year sentence for sexual abuse of a 7-year-old that happened in 1972. That victim, Allison Black Cornelius, spoke to WSFA 12 News before Tuesday’s hearing and said she intended to be there.
“We have to do a better job in the judicial system, in our legal system, of protecting the public from people like this,” Cornelius said. WSFA 12 News reached out to Prince’s attorney before the bail hearing but did not receive a response.
