Ex-professor convicted for molestation LOUISIANA Shreveport Times
Vickie Welborn / The Times Mansfield Bureau Posted on December 16, 2003 MANY - A convicted child molester who District Attorney Don Burkett considers one of the worst sex offenders in this region faces yet another prison term following his conviction Monday in 11th Judicial District Court.
Judge Stephen Beasley convicted Samuel G. Teague, 56, after a half-day bench trial. Teague was found guilty on one of two counts of molestation of a juvenile.
"He faces a lengthy term in jail," said Burkett, who prosecuted the case. "He's probably one of the worst sex offenders I've seen in my almost 20 years as DA. Not necessarily as far as these kids, because we caught it before it went very far."
Teague, a former Louisiana College professor and interim youth director at an Alexandria Baptist church, captured headlines in 1991 when he was arrested in Grant and Rapides parishes on multiple counts of child molestation. Teague was originally charged with 27 counts in Grant Parish and 23 counts in Rapides Parish. However, he pleaded guilty to five counts total, which led to a 15-year concurrent prison sentence.
