Former HHS vice principal has trial delayed
By Patrick Massey
HORATIO – A former Horatio High School administrator charged last year for allegedly maintaining a sexual relationship with a student is now scheduled to appear in court this summer following a continuance motion on April 27.
According to court records, Labrada Vann, 41, appeared before the Sevier County Circuit Court on Thursday for a pre-trial hearing on a felony count of first-degree sexual assault. A jury trial was scheduled for May 3. However, that trial has been postponed to July following a continuance motion by her attorney.
Vann was arrested in April of 2022 on a felony count of first-degree sexual assault. During the time of the alleged incident Vann served as the vice-principal for Horatio High School. She has pleaded not guilty to the charge.
According to court records, Vann’s attorneys sought a mental health evaluation to determine if she could stand trial in the sexual assault case. The evaluation was conducted in February and results returned in March state that Vann was deemed fit to continue as a defendant.
The evaluation was performed by a psychologist of the Division of Aging, Adult and Behavioral Health Services.
Upon a conviction, the charge of first-degree sexual assault carries a prison sentence of six to 30 years.
