A 36-year-old elementary school teacher in Kentucky is facing felony charges after allegedly engaging in sexually explicit electronic communications with a student under the age of 12 during a remote learning session. Authorities arrested Sydnee Graf after she was reportedly intercepted by police while driving to the child's home following a virtual class.
According to a report by The Sun, court documents detail that the intercepted messages included inappropriate sexual content and plans to meet the student outside of school hours. Investigators allege they have evidence in the form of screenshots and videos from the conversations, which reportedly showed Graf’s face and name on the computer screen. While she is said to have admitted to sending the messages, she pleaded not guilty during her arraignment on charges of procuring and promoting the use of a minor via electronic means.
Following her arrest, Graf posted a $100,000 bond and was released under strict conditions that include house arrest and a ban from using social media. Her employer, Smyrna Elementary School in Louisville, confirmed she has been immediately reassigned to a non-student role away from the school campus while the investigation unfolds, in accordance with district safety protocols. Graf is scheduled to appear in court again on January 26, 2026.
