October 27, 2026

(McKinney, Texas) – Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis announced that a Collin County jury found Michael Christopher Songy, age 44, of Frisco, guilty of Indecent Assault for improper touching of one of his high school students.

The Crime

Songy was the student’s JROTC instructor at Prosper Rock Hill High School for 2 years. The week before graduation, Songy had the 18 year old student alone in the classroom supply closet. Songy initiated a hug and then began touching the student inappropriately under the shirt. After the assault, Songy put his phone number on a sticky note and gave it to the student. The student bravely outcried to a teacher about what had happened to her.

The Investigation

The child was then interviewed by Prosper ISD Police where she turned over the sticky note with Songy’s phone number. Police were also able to recover phone and computer evidence, including a message Songy sent the day after the assault asking the victim to come to his classroom again. Songy was then arrested for the Class A misdemeanor crime of Indecent Assault, the highest charge available for this conduct.

The Verdict and Sentence

A Collin County jury found Songy guilty of Indecent Assault after hearing all the evidence. Judge David Waddill will assess the punishment for Songy on November 12th.

Statement of District Attorney Greg Willis

“A Collin County jury found this defendant guilty of indecently assaulting one of his students. Holding adults accountable when they violate the trust placed in them by students is important, and that is what the jury did here.”
