DA Greg Willis Announces Princeton Man Sentenced to Life in Prison for Prohibited Sexual Conduct

July 22, 2026

(McKinney, Texas) – Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis announced that Leslie Price, 41, of Princeton, was sentenced to the maximum Life in Prison for Prohibited Sexual Conduct, after a Collin County jury found him guilty.

The Crime

On September 10, 2024, Amarillo Police responded to a delayed outcry of sexual assault. The 17-year-old victim reported that her father, Leslie Price, had sexually assaulted her while she was living with him in Princeton. At the time of her outcry, the victim was three months pregnant with Price’s child.

The Investigation

After a forensic interview, the case was transferred to the Princeton Police Department. Price was arrested shortly thereafter. Investigators seized two of his phones, which contained Google searches inquiring whether a 17-year-old could get pregnant, ways for his daughter to obtain an abortion, and the age of consent in Texas. The victim gave birth in March 2025. Princeton Police obtained DNA samples from Price, the victim, and the baby. Testing confirmed that Price was the biological father of both his daughter and his granddaughter.

The Trial and Sentence

At trial, prosecutors presented the DNA evidence proving that Price had engaged in sexual intercourse with his 17-year-old daughter. The jury found him guilty of Prohibited Sexual Conduct. During the punishment phase, the State introduced evidence of Price’s prior prison sentences for Assault Family Violence and Engaging in Organized Criminal Activity. Judge Kimberly Laseter assessed the maximum punishment of life in prison.

Statement from DA Willis

“Leslie Price committed the ultimate betrayal — he sexually assaulted his own 17-year-old daughter and fathered her child. A Collin County jury convicted him and the judge sentenced him to life in prison. This verdict protects our community and delivers justice for a young victim who showed tremendous courage.”

Prosecution Team

Assistant Criminal District Attorneys Kathryn Burgess and Mollie Thompson prosecuted the case, assisted by District Attorney Investigator Michael Bennett with legal support from John Rolater and victim support from Jill Moore and Valerie Miller.
