Ex-Montgomery County elementary school teacher released and granted new trial in sexual abuse case
A former Montgomery County school teacher who was convicted of sexually abusing students has been released from prison and granted a new trial.
John Vigna was sentenced to 48 years behind bars in 2017 after at least five female students came forward saying that he had touched them inappropriately after inviting them to sit in his lap during the school day. Vigna was convicted of four counts of sex abuse of a minor and five counts of third-degree sex offense.
After filing for post-conviction relief alleging that he previously had ineffective counsel, a judge vacated Vigna's conviction on July 7. He was released on a $100,000 unsecured personal bond on July 12 with a list of conditions, pending a new trial.
