Dayton Corbett convicted of prohibited sexual contact

A former Caddo Parish Schools teacher and coach was found guilty in a bench trial in Caddo District Court Wednesday, November 12, 2025, of prohibited sexual contact between an educator and a student.

Dayton Corbett, 33, was a history teacher and football coach at Byrd High School, where he engaged in oral sex with the victim during school hours on a weekly basis for her entire senior year, September 2021 through May 2022. The victim didn’t report the offense until the summer of 2024 because she did not initially realize that Corbett had taken advantage of her with his position of power at the school. Corbett was working at Northwood High School at the time of his arrest. 

Corbett was found guilty by District Judge Chris Victory, who sentenced him immediately after the trial. As a first offense it is a misdemeanor under Louisiana law. Judge Victory sentenced Corbett to serve six months in the parish jail, suspended, with one year of active supervised probation, with registration as a sex offender for 15 years.

Assistant District Attorney Courtney N. Ray prosecuted Corbett. He was defended by Holland Miciotto.

The case was Docket No. 403591.
