Overview
- A Collin County jury sentenced Leslie Price to life in prison on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, following his conviction for prohibited sexual conduct.
- The case began with a delayed disclosure to Amarillo police on Sept. 10, 2024, when the 17-year-old reported that Price had sexually assaulted her and she was about three months pregnant.
- Police collected DNA from Price, the victim and the newborn in March 2025, and testing confirmed Price was the biological father of both his daughter and her child.
- Investigators seized two of Price’s cellphones and found Google searches about pregnancy at 17, abortion options and Texas age-of-consent laws that prosecutors used as corroborating digital evidence.
- Prosecutors introduced Price’s prior prison sentences for assault-family violence and organized criminal activity during the punishment phase, and officials say he will serve his life term in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
