Sydnee Graf was arrested by police earlier this month, charged with sending disgusting texts to a 12-year-old pupil detailing some horrific acts they would have gotten up to
An elementary school teacher has been arrested for allegedly grooming a pre-teen student and sending him explicit texts. The teacher was duped into police after other students noticed sickening messages between her and her alleged victim.
Sydnee Graf, 36, was found to have sent horrific messages going into great detail about what the pair would get up to. This included disgusting details of how she wanted to “taste” the 12-year-old victim.
Graf is now being held by police as an investigation into her alleged abuse is ongoing. Authorities are now combing through her devices to see to what extent had she been talking with her student.
According to the Sun, teacher Sydnee had been allegedly sending the boy repulsive messages going into explicit detail about what they would get up to. She had even revealed that the pair would have met up after school in order to carry out her alleged abuse.
Police revealed that no one had known about what was going on, but snapshots and video recordings of the pair’s sickening conversations were soon unearthed. They were seemingly confirmed after the sicko teacher’s face and name were seen in the top left corner of the screen.
The pair’s secret relationship was exposed when police stopped Sydnee in her tracks. According to court documents, authorities stepped in to apprehend the teacher when she was allegedly on her way to pick her victim up from home after a day of learning from home.
After she was detained by officers, Sydnee broke down in tears, allegedly admitting to the crime. However, at a hearing on the case a short time later, she changed her plea and said she was not guilty of what had happened.
She has since been charged with procuring and promoting use of a minor by electronic means, with her bail set at $100,000 (£74,000). She is now believed to be on house arrest and is no longer allowed to use social media of any kind.
The school where the teacher was giving classes has since issued a statement following the arrest. There, they explained that Graf has been kept on the books but will not teach or work with children.
“Following JCPS protocols, the staff members will be reassigned and will not have contact with students during the investigation,” principal Amanda Cooper, from Smyrna Elementary School in Louisville, Kentucky said. “Because this is an active investigation, I cannot disclose anything more.
“We know situations like this can cause anxiety for students and families,” she added. Graff is due to appear in court for a further hearing on January 26.
However, this is not the first time that a teacher has come forward over alleged inappropriate relations between themselves and their students. Back in May, an art teacher was arrested on felony charges due to allegedly getting hot and steamy with a teenage student on his graduation night.
Nicole Hernandez — who also goes by Nikki Baird — is set to stand trial accused of having unlawful relations with a 17-year-old. A judge presiding over the case ruled there was enough evidence for a standalone trial, which will take place next year.
