A former Pahrump substitute teacher was sentenced Monday to an additional 10 to 25 years in prison for sexually assaulting the son of radio talk show host Art Bell.

Brian Lepley, 33, will begin the new prison time only after completing a 17-year sentence he is already serving for a conviction of intentionally transmitting the HIV/AIDS virus and various drug charges, Nye County District Attorney Robert Beckett said.

Lepley had been sentenced on all of the charges in 1998, but the state Supreme Court overturned the sexual assault conviction. Lepley was found guilty in a second trial.
