Former Henrico County Coach Sentenced in Sex Abuse Case
Posted on Feb 21, 2010
Former J.R. Tucker High School football coach William Macgregor "Mac" Leighton was sentenced by an Henrico County Circuit Judge to prison in connection with his prior guilty pleas to sexual conduct of two female students who were 15 and 17 years old at the time.
Leighton's conduct may have been "an extraordinary aberration," his past "impeccable," and like all teachers and coaches he may have been "overworked and underpaid," said Circuit Judge L.A. Harris Jr. But Leighton's role as a teacher and coach meant he "shared a special trust."
"What we have in this case is a blatant violation of that trust," Harris said.
The stern judge, gazing on the weeping former football coach, sentenced Leighton to 15 years in prison, suspending all but 21 months on three felony convictions of taking indecent liberties with the two Tucker students.
