COLLINSVILLE — The former principal of the Collinsville Christian Academy has been charged with twice trying to sexually abuse a former student.
Robert Allen Lane, 57, of Troy, has been charged by the Madison County state’s attorney’s office with two felony counts of attempted aggravated sexual abuse, a Class 3 felony.
According to Collinsville Police, the investigation involved a boy between the ages of 13 and 18 who was a student at the school. The student alleged two sexual incidents on the school’s campus during normal business hours.
Lt. Todd Link of Collinsville Police confirmed that there was “one victim locally so far,” but said there may be other victims. Lane had previous teaching positions in other places throughout the state, he said.
“We’re still following up on those leads,” Link said.
