A November trial date has been set for a former Horatio High School administrator charged earlier this year for allegedly maintaining a sexual relationship with a student.

According to records within the Sevier County Circuit Court, 41-year-old Labrada Vann is set to appear before a jury trial on Nov. 2 if she maintains her current not-guilty plea.

Vann was arrested April 8 following an investigation by the Sevier County Sheriff’s Office this past spring. Vann was employed as vice principal for Horatio High School.

According to the Sevier County Sheriff’s Office, investigators were contacted by the Arkansas Crimes Against Children Hotline on April 4 in reference to a possible inappropriate relationship between Vann and a student. The sheriff’s office then began an investigation into the allegations. The sheriff’s office stated in a press release that information developed and an arrest warrant against Vann issued.

Vann posted a $100,000 bond following her arraignment.

Upon a conviction, the charge of first degree sexual assault carries a prison sentence of six to 30 years.
