A US female teacher sent explicit videos to students
She confessed after being caught
On the 28th, American media reported that a former female teacher at St. James High School in Maris County, New Jersey, was charged with multiple sexual crimes against a student, and she has now pleaded guilty to lesser charges.
On October 23, 2024, prosecutors charged Rikki Lyn Laughlin with possession of child pornography, tampering or attempting to tamper with victims in a felony prosecution, second-degree statutory rape, exploitation of minors, tampering with evidence in a felony prosecution, providing explicit material to minors, and the felony of second-degree sex trafficking of children under 18 years old.
On July 24, 2025, she admitted to committing a crime of endangering the welfare of children and causing significant risks - first degree - first offense - without any sexual act.
She was sentenced to five years of probation.
Maris County investigators said that Laughlin had been sending explicit videos of herself to a 16-year-old student.
Investigators also said that the male student who reported the incident stated that Laughlin had been sending him explicit photos on social media apps and trying to force him into sexual relations, but the female teacher ultimately failed.
