Cody Wayne McCollom Sentenced for Sexual Assault in Collin County

COLLIN COUNTY, Texas – A Collin County man has received a prison sentence of 60 years after being found guilty of grooming, drugging, and repeatedly sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl, as reported by the Collin County Criminal District Attorney’s Office.

Background Information

Cody Wayne McCollom, aged 37 and residing in Princeton, has been identified as a member of the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas and is described as a “violent repeat offender.” His criminal history includes previous convictions for multiple aggravated robberies across Bexar and Nueces counties. After being paroled in early 2022, McCollom re-established contact with the victim and began providing her with illegal drugs.

Details of the Crime

Evidence presented during the trial revealed that from January 2024, McCollom assaulted the minor across several locations, including Anna, Princeton, McKinney, and Melissa. The abuse came to light in June 2024, when the victim confided in her mother, prompting immediate contact with police in McKinney.

Trial and Sentencing

During the trial, jurors were made aware of McCollom’s continued affiliation with the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas, a gang he joined while incarcerated. Given his prior felony convictions, McCollom faced a judicial range of 25 years to life for his latest offenses. Ultimately, the jury decided on a 60-year sentence, which is to be served without the possibility of parole.

Official Statements

Collin County Criminal District Attorney Greg Willis stated, “McCollom groomed and drugged a vulnerable 14-year-old, then raped her again and again across our county. Thanks to the victim’s courage and the outstanding police collaboration across multiple cities, this violent gang member has finally been held accountable. He will never hurt another child again.”

Conclusion

McCollom’s case underscores the seriousness of sexual offenses and the importance of legal accountability in protecting vulnerable individuals. The collaborative efforts of law enforcement and the courage of the victim were pivotal in securing the conviction.
