A recently enacted law led to the arrest of a teacher from a Kentucky school with seventh and eighth graders over an alleged felonious “improper relationship” with a student.
Outside of the pervasiveness of Marxist ideology and indoctrination in government-run schools, one of the most prominent justifications for homeschooling has been near constant reports of grooming and sexual misconduct by teachers and administrators. Friday, allegations were brought against 25-year-old Sadie M. Flores that could see her incarcerated for half a decade if found guilty of grooming.
According to a release published by the Graves County Sheriff’s Office by Sheriff Jon Hayden, Flores of the Graves County Middle School in Mayfield, Kentucky, was arrested after an allegation reported to the school district prompted an investigation by law enforcement.
“Flores, an employee at the Graves County Middle school reportedly was having an improper relationship with a minor student of the district,” read the release.
“Sheriff’s detectives’ investigation included the seizure of electronic records, interviews, and other related investigative measures,” continued the sheriff’s office in the ongoing investigation. “Flores was interviewed this afternoon and then arrested. She was transported to the Graves County Restricted Custody Center, and later to an out of county detention center.”
As part of House Bill 4 that took effect July 15, the alleged grooming is considered a Class D felony. Kentucky law defines grooming a minor in different ways depending on the relationship of the perpetrator to the victim.
For a person 18-years-old or older, grooming involves efforts “to entice, coerce, solicit, or induce the minor (under 14-years-old) to engage in sexual conduct with the person or another person.”
If the adult is a “person in a position of authority or position of special trust,” the same definition applies to those up to age 18, along with efforts to “develop an intimate or secretive relationship with the minor.”
In his own statement on the arrest, Graves County Schools Superintendent Matt Madding expressed, “District administration was made aware of an allegation involving a teacher at Graves County Middle School. School officials immediately reported this information to the Graves County Sheriff’s Department for investigation.”
“We have since been informed that, as a result of that investigation, charges have been filed against this teacher,” he went on, noting the “ongoing legal and personnel matter” restricted what he was permitted to say.
After reaffirming student safety and well-being as the “highest priority,” Madding remarked, “We take any allegation involving the safety of a child or the professional conduct of an employee extremely seriously and will continue to cooperate fully with law enforcement and the appropriate authorities.”
In Kentucky, a Class D felony is punishable by anywhere from one to five years in prison, though longer terms are applicable with an enhancement for “persistent felony offenders.”
