Plano child molester sentenced to 40 years: Man found guilty of repeatedly assaulting adoptive daughter

Published: Monday, January 14, 2013 3:17 PM CST
Lewis Michael Wall, 52, of Plano, received five maximum sentences on Friday for repeatedly molesting a child, announced Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis today.


According to jury trial testimony, Wall, the child’s adoptive father, began molesting her when she was around five years old. The abuse began in Arkansas and continued when they moved to Georgia. When the victim was 16 years old, Wall and the victim moved to Plano and the sexual assault continued.

The victim told a friend’s family in Plano after she graduated from high school, and they reported the abuse to the police. Wall was arrested on Sept. 29, 2010.

The jury returned a guilty verdict on Friday on two counts of sexual assault of a child, one count of indecency with a child and two counts of prohibited sexual conduct. The jury sentenced him to 20 years, the maximum sentences for four of the charges, and 10 years, the maximum for the indecency by exposure charge. The judge then stacked the prohibited sexual conduct sentences onto the sexual assault sentences, resulting in a 40-year sentence.

Assistant Criminal District Attorneys Janet Cook and Crystal Levonius prosecuted the case and were assisted by District Attorney Investigator Kenny Newton and legal secretary Sandy Schilling. The case was investigated by Plano Police Detective Chris Jones. Retired State District Judge Keith Dean presided over the case.
