Horn to Appear for Sentencing Friday

On Friday, September 15th, former Lee County P.E. teacher Courtney (Johnson) Horn, 33, will appear before Circuit Judge Michael Dean to be sentenced for charges from 2022 regarding a sexual relationship with a student.

After KSP began the investigation, Horn admitted to engaging in a sexual relationship with the student at Horn’s home. KSP also interviewed the student who admitted to the relationship as well.
Horn was charged with 3rd degree rape, 3rd degree sodomy and sexual abuse 1st degree. An update on Horn’s sentencing scheduled for this Friday can be read in next week’s edition of the Beattyville Enterprise; 9/21/23.
