Collin County prosecutors sent Leslie Price, 41, of Princeton, to prison for life after a conviction for prohibited sexual conduct involving his teenage daughter. The case involved a child sexual assault inside the family, and the girl later gave birth to Price’s child.

District Attorney Greg Willis announced the sentence. DNA evidence and cellphone searches helped support the case, and Price had already been a registered sex offender before the life sentence was imposed.

For families who suspect a child is being abused, Texas law requires a report based on reasonable suspicion, not proof. If a child is in immediate danger, call 911. To report suspected abuse statewide, call the Texas Abuse Hotline at 1-800-252-5400; it operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and the line is confidential.
