Former Galloway School Teacher Arrested on Child Sexual Abuse Charge

Police say the arrest follows an investigation into alleged abuse from 2020 to 2026 that has prompted officers to seek other possible victims.

Overview

  • Friendswood police arrested 32-year-old Lewis Stott on a Harris County warrant charging him with continuous sexual abuse of a child and transported him to Harris County custody for processing.
  • Authorities say the alleged conduct took place while Stott held multiple roles at The Galloway School, including physical education teacher, second-grade teacher, substitute teacher and soccer club coach.
  • Investigators have withheld details about the allegations to protect the probe and victim privacy and say the investigation remains active.
  • Police are urging parents and anyone with information to contact the Friendswood Police Department at 281-996-3300 because they believe there may be additional victims who have not yet come forward.
  • News reports differ on Stott’s bond status with county records citing a $100,000 bond and police statements saying he was being held with no bond; the school has referred media questions to its attorney as it cooperates with investigators.
