The North Dakota teacher who encouraged classes to call her “Kim Kardashian” was sentenced to prison for inappropriate sexual relationships with several students, according to officials.
Shannon Moser, 37, gave a tearful plea for leniency Monday in Cass County District Court before she was ordered to serve 10 years in prison, news station KVLY reported.
The Liberty Middle School teacher’s prison sentence will be followed by five years probation.
“I’m vastly ashamed of my simple choices that have hurt so many people,” said Moser, who will also have to register as a sex offender.
Moser — a married mother of four — pleaded guilty in August to gross sexual imposition, sexual assault and luring a minor by computer.
“I feel like I don’t deserve life or breath for all the harm and hurt that I’ve caused so many people,” Moser told the courtroom.
Prosecutors accused Moser of sending the teen boys raunchy Snapchats, some of which showed her having sex with her husband, the West Fargo Pioneer reported.
The science teacher allegedly had sexual contact with two students, one of whom claimed he had intercourse with Moser when he was 16 years old at Rendezvous Park in West Fargo, according to prosecutors.
Officials said another victim came forward to police about Moser sending him sexually explicit photos on Snapchat since he was 14 years old. The teen said he never had sex with the teacher, but she asked to meet him, authorities said.
Police launched an investigation into the alleged misconduct in June after receiving a tip that she had sex with a male student.
She resigned from her job in July when the school district learned about the police investigation.
