00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:28.079
Hey everyone, and welcome back to Exposed Scandalous Files of

2

3
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:37.320
am continuing the Bad Teachers state specific series. Now this

4
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:41.200
week we're going to Kentucky. But before we do, I

5
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:45.560
want to shout out my newest Patreon Global celebrity member,

6
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:50.439
Miss Sarah Boudreaux. Now, Sarah is not far as far

7
00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:53.960
as the location from where I'm recording right now, just

8
00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:58.560
forty five minutes or so in Laplace, Louisiana. And y'all

9
00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:02.159
know I love my fun that, so here's one about Laplace.

10
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:07.120
It is officially the on Dewey Capital of the world.

11
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:10.920
It was proclaimed that in the nineteen seventies by then

12
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:16.840
Governor Edwin Edwards, which, for my non Cajun listeners, on

13
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:20.760
Dewey is a spicy smoked sausage and it's typically a

14
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:24.599
staple that we will put in our gumbos here in

15
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:28.840

Buck on that. But back to it.

28
00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:15.000
As I said, we're going to go to Kentucky this week,

29
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:18.319
and the first bad teacher I'm going to cover today

30
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:24.560
was recommended by listener Lauren, So thank you listener Lauren

31
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:27.000
for bringing Sydney.

32
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:29.319
Graf to my attention. Now.

33
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:34.159
According to Sidney's ex profile, she is a wife and

34
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:39.120
mother of two perfect boys, living her best life. We'll

35
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:43.240
see about that. This particular case is very fresh and

36
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:46.479
it's still in the courts, So everything I'm about to

37
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:50.479
discuss I have to say legally, this is alleged. You're

38
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:55.039
innocent until proven guilty. But here's the story I have a.

39
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:58.680
Little about Sidney. She was thirty six years old at.

40
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:03.159
The time of her and a fifth grade teacher at

41
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:08.639
Smira Elementary School. This is in Louisville, Kentucky. So on

42
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:12.919
December fifteenth of twenty twenty five, just a few months ago,

43
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:18.639
she was arrested for having sexually explicit conversations with a

44
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:24.719
male fifth grade student under the age of twelve, which

45
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:28.759
in and of itself is absolutely sickening, but it got

46
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:32.719
even worse when in January of twenty twenty six those

47
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:36.960
charges were upgraded. So let's get into it. Due to

48
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:40.159
how new that this case is, there's not a ton

49
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:44.879
of information out there on Sydney's background, but what we

50
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.919
do know is that she was born and raised in

51
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:53.479
the Louisville, Kentucky area, and look, thanks to court records,

52
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:55.560
we were able to find out that in two thousand

53
00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:58.599
and eight she was convicted of a dui that was

54
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:01.759
at the young age of nineteen, and she was able

55
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:05.479
to overcome this early stumbling life and at some point

56
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:10.639
prior to twenty fifteen, she completes her education complete with

57
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:14.960
a college degree, and she started teaching. Now I'm not

58
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:19.240
sure if she was teaching at Smyrna Elementary at that

59
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:22.399
point in time or not, but she was definitely teaching.

60
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:26.480
In May of twenty fifteen, she gets married and then

61
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:29.959
things kind of fall off in her background and they

62
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:33.279
pick up again in twenty nineteen when she gets pretty

63
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:38.120
active on social media as an anti Trump supporter. And

64
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:41.399
I bring this up only because in response to a

65
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:45.879
tweet from Hillary Clinton that was criticizing Trump for some

66
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:51.279
comments Trump made regarding John McCain, she retweeted that post

67
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:57.519
with the comment quote not you pedophile, which, as you're

68
00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:02.759
about to discover, was pretty considering what she was about

69
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:05.560
to get arrested for in the future. Now, at this

70
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:08.399
point in time when she was sending those tweets, Sydney

71
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:12.199
had two toddlers, and by twenty twenty four, she was

72
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:17.360
the fourth grade teacher at Smyrna Elementary School, and she was,

73
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:20.600
by all accounts, the type of teacher you would want

74
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:24.480
for your fourth grader. She was very active on social media,

75
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:29.000
fundraising for school supplies, et cetera for her classroom, and

76
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:32.279
would describe her students as some of the brightest, most

77
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:37.040
kind hearted students she had ever had the pleasure of teaching.

78
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:40.480
During the twenty twenty four twenty twenty five school years,

79
00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:43.680
as a matter of fact, she would transition into the

80
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:47.519
role a fifth grade math teacher at that school.

81
00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:50.839
So to tell you what happened with this bad teacher,

82
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:51.759
I need.

83
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:57.040
To discuss quickly with you what an nt idea is

84
00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:03.800
and simply put this as an acronym for non traditional instruction. Basically,

85
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:07.439
this is a day where, due to snowy weather, for example,

86
00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:11.439
students would have to have remote learning with the teacher

87
00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:14.480
to avoid getting out in that snowy weather.

88
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:16.759
And it was on a non.

89
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:22.480
Traditional instruction day that trouble with this bad teacher would start. So,

90
00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:27.079
according to the arrest report, someone and it doesn't specify who,

91
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:31.720
reported to the school that during one of these NTI days,

92
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:38.240
Sydney had sexually explicit conversations with a fifth grade student.

93
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:42.160
So the school contacts police as they have to do

94
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:48.199
as mandated reporters, and police start investigating and they managed

95
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:54.480
to get screenshots in even videos of the conversations. Once

96
00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:58.360
all of this evidence is gathered, on December fifteenth of

97
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:03.160
twenty twenty five, they arrest Graph and get this, when

98
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:07.879
this sick individual is arrested, she is actually on the

99
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:12.800
way to this fifth grader's house to pick him up,

100
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:18.439
allegedly for rendezvous. So police bring her to the station

101
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:24.600
and she admits to having these explicit conversations, and not

102
00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:30.240
only that, but a search of her vehicle uncovers drugs

103
00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:33.439
including hydra codone and adderall.

104
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:35.079
So consider this.

105
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:37.759
Your warning because I'm going to go into detail with

106
00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:43.319
what we know was said in these conversations that took place,

107
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:46.360
and it's really graphic. It's going to shock the shit

108
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:49.959
out of you. So if that upsets you, turn off

109
00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:53.759
the podcast now. But if you want all the details,

110
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:58.839
regardless of how graphic they can be, here they are now.

111
00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:03.360
It's important to note that while the initial conversations would

112
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:07.079
take place on an NTI day, it doesn't mean she

113
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:10.439
was dumb enough to have them like in a learning

114
00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:14.920
room on Zoom or something with a bunch of students

115
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:18.759
in the room while she's saying stuff to one particular student.

116
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:23.879
In fact, my sources say the explicit stuff took place

117
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:30.639
on Snapchat, and those chats included discussions about Sydney Graf

118
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:34.720
wanting to have oral sex with this fifth grader and

119
00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:38.960
even going so far as to say, and I'm quoting

120
00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:44.440
this y'all quote, I really need to taste that dick

121
00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:49.799
fr FR, which is short for for real for real.

122
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:53.120
Also in that chat, that's where her and this fifth

123
00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:58.000
grader start discussing meeting up, so she gets arrested for

124
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:02.440
having those sexually explicit conversations as well as those drugs

125
00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:06.679
in her car, and on December sixteenth of twenty twenty five,

126
00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:09.200
the very next day, she gets arraigned.

127
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:11.799
And I actually have a clip of that.

128
00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:15.840
It's only about six minutes in length, but it's very

129
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:20.279
interesting if you don't know how these arraignments work. So

130
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:21.759
here's that clip.

131
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:24.120
Before we address your case, I want to make sure

132
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:26.600

133
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:29.159
to remain silent. You don't have to talk to anybody today.

134
00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:32.399

Our plea most likely if not guilty, figure out your

138
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:41.600
next court date, figure.

139
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:44.200
Out your attorney situation. You do have felony charges, so

if you have a right to a preliminary hearing before

141
00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:49.759
a judge to determine if that crime was committed and

142
00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:52.919
committed by you. If you remain in custody, that hearing

143
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:55.559
has to be held within ten days of today your arraignment.

144
00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:57.399
If you get out of custody, it has to be

145
00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:00.919
held within twenty days off your arraignment on down the road.

146
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:02.399
You have the right to a trial and a right

147
00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:05.000
to appeal, But for today, we're going to enter that

148
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:05.879

It's a sea felony.

admit her.

169
00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:17.120
Identity way form reading of your charges, reserve the right final.

170
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:20.679
In the appropriate emotions of the later time and the three.

171
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:21.559
Am not guilty.

172
00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:25.399
All right one of that plea if not guilty, note

173
00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:29.919
you at least for today's purposes, mister Miller, the bond

174
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:33.000
is one hundred thousand full cast you hip have posted.

175
00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:36.240
She is a low one low one.

176
00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:40.399
Could we address the bond issue, Jesu.

177
00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:41.480
Of course.

178
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:45.559
She even a longtime resident. Cheer you guys that are

179
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:50.799
require her life. They are let's property here in town.

180
00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:54.279
She has two children here in town. She's married, has

181
00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:58.080
her family, her sister, and she said, well her years

182
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:02.039
life or is she is not? She had one charge

183
00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:06.080
back about two thousand six or eight, a traffic violation.

184
00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:08.039
That's the only charge that I know is that she

185
00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:13.240
asked that representative back then. So assumed we charge on

186
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:14.279
on this points.

187
00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:19.159
I realize that being charges are serious on one hundred

188
00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:24.360
thousand dollars, Jay, the question she cannot is not cost

189
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:24.759
of today?

190
00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:28.799
Then I would suggested to throw all possibles ten percent.

191
00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:33.080
Unless you're now.

192
00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:37.759
All right, Miss Southern, you're.

193
00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:39.879
Honor based on the nature of the allegations of the county,

194
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:42.759
would strongly object table introduction at this juncture. We are

195
00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:45.120
asking for there to be written no contact order, and

196
00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:47.840
that would be no contact with the juvenile victim, no

197
00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:50.320
contact with the place of violation, no content with any

198
00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:53.919
minor children, no social media or electronic devices, and no

199
00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:57.559
contact with any JCCUS property. Our position, as I said,

200
00:12:57.720 --> 00:13:00.200
is that given the facts and circumstances as seb or

201
00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:03.320
in the jc I'm sorry the uniform citation that this

202
00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:07.240
one is completely appropriate, and we're not disagreeing with mister

203
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:11.279
Miller that her prior record consists of a two thousand

204
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:15.600
and eight DUI. But nonetheless, these allegations are extremely serious.

205
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:21.879
There are allegations of certainly contact.

206
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:24.840
Josh, I'm not correct if the traffic violation was like

207
00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:26.240
a two thousand and six or eight.

208
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:28.559
It's like fifteen or twenty.

209
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:30.480
Years old, and fifteen years old, I said, I agreed

210
00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:30.840
with you.

211
00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:33.879
Oh, I followed, Yes I did, But I said I

212
00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:35.799
agreed that there was a two thousand and eight DUI.

213
00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:37.120
Yes, I'm sure.

214
00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:47.720
The allegations here are certainly extremely serious, extremely concerning related

215
00:13:47.799 --> 00:13:52.320
to the alleged contact with the juvenile in question, and

216
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:57.360
then certainly of additional concern are the allegations that there

217
00:13:57.360 --> 00:14:01.879
were then not just contact that was electronic in nature,

218
00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:06.039
but then arrangements being made to meet the juvenile, and.

219
00:14:08.440 --> 00:14:09.799
Looks like there were actual.

220
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:14.279
Attempts of picking up that juvenile from his residence, which

221
00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:18.480
is where the citation indicates that that's where she was apprehended. So,

222
00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:20.759
as I said, our position is that this bond is

223
00:14:21.320 --> 00:14:24.559
appropriate and should not be changed in anyway.

224
00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:26.960
All right, miss scrap, I am going to leave the

225
00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:29.399
bond where it is one hundred thousand full cash to

226
00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:34.320
hip with no social media and absolutely no contact with

227
00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:37.679
the victim in this case, no messages through a third party,

228
00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:39.840
no email, snail mail, nothing like that.

229
00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:44.679
All right, Jack, Can I ask, can we the ability

230
00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:46.600
to post real property jation?

231
00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:49.600
No cash only?

232
00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:50.840
Correct?

233
00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:53.480
Go through those correct? I never do real property, so.

234
00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:55.799
You hurt the public defender there.

235
00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:59.519
Attempt to get the judge to lower that bond, but

236
00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:03.840
no dice on that, and the judge held that bond,

237
00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:09.360
but it didn't matter. She made the bond anyway. And

238
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:12.679
it's cash only, y'all, meaning she had to drop.

239
00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:15.360
Ten grand to get released.

240
00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:21.360
So when these people are arrested, the investigation doesn't stop.

241
00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:21.960
At that point.

242
00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:25.360
It's still going on, and by the time Sydney Graf

243
00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:30.000
is indicted, by a grand jury, more evidence of even

244
00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:33.360
worse crimes are discovered. As a matter of fact, the

245
00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:38.080
police discovered enough evidence, though the specifics are not available,

246
00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:43.679
to actually add charges including first degree rape of a

247
00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:48.600
victim under twelve, first degree sidomy of a victim under twelve,

248
00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:53.320
and unlawful transaction with a minor under sixteen, as well

249
00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:55.360
as additional drug charges.

250
00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:56.960
And I want to clear this up quickly.

251
00:15:57.519 --> 00:16:02.080
Sionomy can include anal sex oral sex, and a lot

252
00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:05.120
of people ask me, does that mean they had anal

253
00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:06.639
sex with the victim.

254
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:08.600
No, not necessarily.

255
00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:12.600
In ninety nine percent of the cases sonomy, as it

256
00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:16.519
relates to a victim under twelve, especially when it's a

257
00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:21.200
female teacher and a male student, it usually means oral sex.

258
00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:23.200
Either the student gave.

259
00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:26.360
The teacher oral sex or vice versa, or in sometimes both.

260
00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:29.360
So I just wanted to clear that up. So she's

261
00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:33.480
taken into custody again because remember she was out on bond,

262
00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:37.519
and this time she's unable to post bond because it

263
00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:41.840
had been raised up to five hundred thousand dollars and

264
00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:44.919
that's a cash bond. She didn't have five hundred k cash.

265
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:48.399
And as off this recording, she remains in jail now.

266
00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:51.840
As far as the time she is facing for the

267
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:56.120
first degree rape alone, she's looking at twenty years to

268
00:16:56.240 --> 00:17:00.679
fifty years. Same with the sodomy chargers. She's also looking

269
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:03.799
at ten to twenty years with that transaction of a

270
00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:07.680
minor charge, so she could end up spending the vast

271
00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:11.880
majority of the rest of her life in prison over this.

272
00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:17.319
Just disgusting under twelve years old. So let's move on

273
00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:22.200
to our next bad teacher, also referred by lessener laurene,

274
00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:28.599
and that is Elena Borden of Adare County, Kentucky. In

275
00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:33.039
this case is a different one because Elena she was

276
00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:36.279
a twenty seven year old English teacher who taught at

277
00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:40.599
the Adair County Detention Center. And she not only was

278
00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:45.440
convicted of multiple instances of engaging in sexual contact with

279
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:49.839
a seventeen year old inmate, but she was also charged

280
00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:55.720
with soliciting a seventeen year old inmate to kill her

281
00:17:55.960 --> 00:17:58.079
forty nine year old husband.

282
00:17:58.160 --> 00:17:59.240
She was twenty seven.

283
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:03.680
So bucket your seat belts for this one, and I'll

284
00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:07.240
start out by telling you Elaina was born in nineteen

285
00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:12.960
ninety seven. Not a lot of publicly available information out

286
00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:16.920
there regarding her background. But prior to twenty twenty, she

287
00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:19.720
does get married to her husband, and as I said,

288
00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:23.880
he was two decades her senior, and that's a big

289
00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:27.880
age gap. Also in twenty twenty, she starts working in

290
00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:32.480
the Adair County Schools as an English teacher. Now, by

291
00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:36.920
twenty twenty four, her career leads her to an even

292
00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:42.200
more unconventional path as she begins teaching at the Adair

293
00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:47.640
Youth Detention Center youth prison basically, and she's teaching English

294
00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:51.880
to incarcerated teens, including the seventeen year old boy we're

295
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:52.920
talking about today.

296
00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:54.240
Now, she was.

297
00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:59.279
Paying this particular teen a lot of attention, and it

298
00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:02.880
was nuticsa by other staff. Early on at that center,

299
00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:06.799
Elainna and this boy just seemed to always be around

300
00:19:06.839 --> 00:19:10.680
each other. Other inmates were talking about this. Other staff

301
00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:13.960
was talking about this so much so that her boss

302
00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:16.680
had to have a as we would say here in

303
00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:20.640
the South, come to Jesus' meeting with her and tell

304
00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:24.839
her she needed to get away from this seventeen year old.

305
00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:29.960
The staff at one point even transfers this team to

306
00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:34.400
a different area of the detention center in an effort

307
00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:37.680
to rain this thing in. Now, all of this is

308
00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:41.359
going on while not only is this now twenty seven

309
00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:46.720
year old married teacher cheating on her husband, but she

310
00:19:46.839 --> 00:19:49.039
also has a five year old child.

311
00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:50.440
So on March.

312
00:19:50.359 --> 00:19:55.400
Twenty seventh of twenty twenty five, prison staff was conducting

313
00:19:55.519 --> 00:19:59.440
a routine search of cells, and it was during said

314
00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:03.920
search that they uncover some pretty damning stuff. In the

315
00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:08.079
cell of this particular seventeen year old. They find both

316
00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:14.400
letters and explicit pictures in the juvenile's bunk that were

317
00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:19.000
sent by Elaine and Barden. And this was quite the stash.

318
00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:21.359
All this wasn't one or two letters, how about one

319
00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:26.279
hundred and ninety three letters alone. They confiscate the letters

320
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:30.759
and at this point the Kentucky State Police get called

321
00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:34.839
in and a full scale investigation is started. Now what

322
00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:40.839
police would uncover was pretty shocking. Those letters pretty dirty stuff.

323
00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:44.680
Not I love you, do you love me? More like

324
00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:48.119
fifty shades of gray dirty.

325
00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:53.920
There were writings back and forth referencing the teacher grabbing

326
00:20:53.960 --> 00:20:59.440
the teens balls and playing with the teens penis and

327
00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:02.640
things like that. That and even some references to the teen

328
00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:07.720
killing Elena's husband. Yep, you heard that right now. To

329
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:11.079
be fair, and I'll discuss it in a few minutes.

330
00:21:11.319 --> 00:21:15.799
It was a reach that charge for soliciting a teen

331
00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:18.839
to murder her husband, but we'll get into that. Police

332
00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:23.119
do arrest Elina Barden on April second of twenty twenty

333
00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:28.200
five for first degree sexual abuse distributing obscene material to

334
00:21:28.279 --> 00:21:32.920
a minor, which for the new pictures that they found

335
00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:36.160
also in this kid's bunk, and as I told you,

336
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:39.920
solicitation to commit first degree murder. So it's off to

337
00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:43.319
jail for this teacher. And it was not long after that,

338
00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:48.119
and not surprising that her husband files for divorce. This

339
00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:50.960
is in May of twenty twenty five. What would you

340
00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:55.200
expect Your wife has now been arrested for several different things,

341
00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:58.039
including trying to hire someone to kill you. And I

342
00:21:58.079 --> 00:22:02.000
want to offer my kudos to everyone involved in this case,

343
00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:06.319
from the judge to the prosecution to the defense team.

344
00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:10.640
The speed in which this one made it to trial

345
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:14.720
was something I don't come across very often. In fact,

346
00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:18.400
the sheer fact that this case went to trial is

347
00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:22.920
also something I rarely see. And you can bet that

348
00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:27.400
solicitation of murder had something to do with that. So

349
00:22:27.480 --> 00:22:31.119
what came out during this trial, well, in regards to

350
00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:34.000
those one hundred and ninety three letters, many of them

351
00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:39.599
describing sexual fantasies Barden had for this team, and one

352
00:22:39.799 --> 00:22:44.039
in particular even reference to the fact that Barden was

353
00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:48.799
concerned about being labeled a pedophile and would urge the

354
00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:52.440
team to hide the letters. And that's important because it's

355
00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:54.799
a proof she knew what she was doing was wrong.

356
00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:58.200
You can't then come back and say, well, he was seventeen,

357
00:22:58.279 --> 00:23:02.119
I thought it was okay. Nope, you said it.

358
00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:05.279
In the letters that he needed to hide them because

359
00:23:05.319 --> 00:23:08.240
you were concerned you may be labeled a pedophile. Now,

360
00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:11.519
in addition to that, they uncovered evidence in these letters

361
00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:15.359
of kissing and groping. And of course, as I told you,

362
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:19.400
they uncovered nude pictures of Barden that were found in

363
00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:24.440
his bunk and these were actually interestingly developed at a

364
00:23:24.480 --> 00:23:28.359
local Walmart and then given him, So these are physical pictures.

365
00:23:28.559 --> 00:23:32.240
Security footage was also shown to the jury of Elena

366
00:23:32.319 --> 00:23:36.799
Barden entering his cell multiple times and staying there for

367
00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:41.839
extended periods. Now, there were some writings where Barden would

368
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:45.519
express concern of the fact that she did not want to,

369
00:23:46.079 --> 00:23:49.680
in her words, lose custody of her kids. In a divorce,

370
00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:53.240
but that she was not happy and she wanted to

371
00:23:53.359 --> 00:23:56.160
leave the marriage. And here's a key quote in one

372
00:23:56.200 --> 00:23:59.480
of the letters. In one of those letters, she said quote,

373
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:03.599
I know you say you'll take care of him, but

374
00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:08.480
shouldn't someone else do it to take suspicion away from you?

375
00:24:09.279 --> 00:24:09.640
Nuot.

376
00:24:10.039 --> 00:24:15.119
Now, the Stenate testified he thought Barden was serious. However,

377
00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:18.960
Bardon said she was just joking about it. Now, she

378
00:24:19.079 --> 00:24:21.839
also kept a diary, and this is important to mention

379
00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:25.920
where she would reference the team getting rid of her husband.

380
00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:30.240
And if you were to look at the entire context

381
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:32.359
of these letters.

382
00:24:32.279 --> 00:24:35.400
It could really go either way as to.

383
00:24:35.519 --> 00:24:38.079
Whether she was really wanting to plot to kill her

384
00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:41.880
husband or not. In the end, however, the jury did

385
00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:46.200
not buy that, and she was acquitted on the solicitation

386
00:24:46.519 --> 00:24:50.599
of murder charge, but she was found guilty of everything else.

387
00:24:50.799 --> 00:24:54.319
And I'm gonna play for you now the actual clip

388
00:24:54.519 --> 00:24:58.799
where the judge hands down that sentence, and then I'm

389
00:24:58.839 --> 00:25:01.559
gonna give you my thought on this whole deal.

390
00:25:01.799 --> 00:25:02.599
So here's that.

391
00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:06.799
I think I've received. I think four letters. I'm as

392
00:25:06.839 --> 00:25:12.000
Bardan received a letter from her parents, probably the best

393
00:25:12.039 --> 00:25:16.519
written letter I've ever received, and they're obviously very intelligent,

394
00:25:16.640 --> 00:25:21.119
articulate people. Received one from her husband, received someone from

395
00:25:21.240 --> 00:25:25.880
someone down at the jail and involved with jail ministries.

396
00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:29.279
And then I received the fourth letter that the identity

397
00:25:29.319 --> 00:25:29.720
of which.

398
00:25:29.720 --> 00:25:31.519
Escapes me right now, but I read it.

399
00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:34.720
Anything you wish to say prior to the court.

400
00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:39.079
Imposing sentence and no, y'all, I think everything was, you know,

401
00:25:39.480 --> 00:25:41.480
laid out in the letters as well as in the

402
00:25:41.519 --> 00:25:45.319
motions that we filed. I don't need to argue those, Judge,

403
00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:51.720
I think they're sufficient to rely on the pleadings just

404
00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:55.799
we we understand the jury's verdict, we understand what heard

405
00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:59.799
in the case. We obviously the court set through the trial.

406
00:25:59.799 --> 00:26:02.759
We still think there's certain issues with the case, obviously

407
00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:06.400
being adult, being a minor, those type of things, but

408
00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:12.880
the jury verdict was what it was, and we're prepared

409
00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:17.039
for the course ruling and we'll proceed. However, we need.

410
00:26:16.920 --> 00:26:20.119
To mister Wright, how about on your end, anything you

411
00:26:20.160 --> 00:26:22.599
wish to say prior to the courton posting sentence just fling.

412
00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:25.160
I would say that there's no reason to rehash the uh,

413
00:26:25.839 --> 00:26:26.680
the facts of the case.

414
00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:29.119
I give mister Roland's the court heard that over the

415
00:26:29.160 --> 00:26:30.000
course of the trial.

416
00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:33.079
You know, it's the case that that that a jury

417
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:35.519
in the community and Adair County was able to hear.

418
00:26:36.279 --> 00:26:40.400
They certainly, I think took took the evidence and the

419
00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:43.440
instructions to heart and deliberated. And I would just ask

420
00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:46.240
the Court of census pardon in accordance with the jury's

421
00:26:46.319 --> 00:26:47.759
verdict that they rendered in the case.

422
00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:48.759
I think it was fairly try.

423
00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:49.799
I think the court didn't comment.

424
00:26:49.880 --> 00:26:53.200
There was a clean trial, and I think the I

425
00:26:53.200 --> 00:26:54.839
think the jury got it right, and I would ask

426
00:26:54.839 --> 00:26:56.839
the court to sence her in accordance with their verdict.

427
00:26:56.880 --> 00:27:01.839
John, Okay, mister, anything else on behalf of miss pardon?

428
00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:04.519
No, y'all anything you wish to.

429
00:27:04.440 --> 00:27:05.119
Say, miss pardon?

430
00:27:05.480 --> 00:27:05.599
Now?

431
00:27:05.720 --> 00:27:06.400
How it all right?

432
00:27:08.599 --> 00:27:13.240
This is a very unfortunate case, needless to say, Like

433
00:27:13.319 --> 00:27:15.480
I said, I was very impressed with the letters involving

434
00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:20.200
your parents. Let's start with the motion for a new

435
00:27:20.240 --> 00:27:22.079
trial and judgment of quittal.

436
00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:24.160
I'm going to deny those motions.

437
00:27:25.279 --> 00:27:27.440
I think this was a clean trial. I really don't

438
00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:30.359
see any issues that came up at the trial that

439
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:33.160
I think would be a concern.

440
00:27:32.799 --> 00:27:34.240
From an appellate standpoint.

441
00:27:35.799 --> 00:27:38.880
I think the jury got the verdict right in this

442
00:27:38.920 --> 00:27:42.000
particular matter, all the way around, you know, in what

443
00:27:42.039 --> 00:27:45.759
we do, I've always said, and I believe that the

444
00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:49.359
juries get things right more than anybody else in our process.

445
00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:52.079
I absolutely believe that, and I.

446
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:53.359
Think they got it right here.

447
00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:56.279
I really don't think you intended to try to solicit

448
00:27:56.599 --> 00:27:58.319
that young man to kill your husband.

449
00:27:58.759 --> 00:27:59.640
I don't think he did.

450
00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:04.400
I think the acquitto on that was the right decision

451
00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:06.440
by the jury. It's what I would have done if

452
00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:08.160
I had been sitting on the jury, if it had

453
00:28:08.200 --> 00:28:11.000
been tried in front of me. I think you were

454
00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:13.519
acquitted on various charges that you probably should have been

455
00:28:13.519 --> 00:28:17.160
acquitted on, And of course I directed a verdict on

456
00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:18.799
two of the accounts because.

457
00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:21.400
There wasn't any evidence I I to warn a conviction.

458
00:28:23.359 --> 00:28:25.440
You said one hundred and twenty one hundred and ninety

459
00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:26.799
three pages of letters.

460
00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:28.880
I think it was to this young man.

461
00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:31.079
One of them got you convicted.

462
00:28:32.319 --> 00:28:36.759
One letter, the one where you basically admitted to the

463
00:28:36.839 --> 00:28:40.599
sexual contact with this young man, which of course triggered

464
00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:42.359
the other charge in.

465
00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:43.440
This particular case.

466
00:28:43.640 --> 00:28:45.880
That that's what got you convicted, and the jury was

467
00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:50.000
right to convict you of it. You know, regarding the

468
00:28:50.079 --> 00:28:56.400
sentence on this particular matter. There have been situations, I

469
00:28:56.400 --> 00:28:59.640
think probably four times when I've had trials and I

470
00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:04.440
have reduced the sentence that a jury recommended because I

471
00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:07.039
just thought it was very unreasonable.

472
00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:10.480
What they had offered or what they had recommended the jury.

473
00:29:10.599 --> 00:29:11.559
I think I've done that.

474
00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:13.640
Four times and the many many.

475
00:29:13.400 --> 00:29:18.519
Trials I've had, and I've considered that in your case.

476
00:29:20.799 --> 00:29:24.279
The thing that about this, Miss Bardener, it's not necessarily

477
00:29:24.319 --> 00:29:26.519
in my mind, what I would probably would have done

478
00:29:26.559 --> 00:29:27.960
if I'd been sitting on the jury.

479
00:29:28.079 --> 00:29:30.480
I don't think I would have done fourteen had I

480
00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:32.319
been a jury.

481
00:29:31.720 --> 00:29:33.720
Because you're going to pull right under twelve of that.

482
00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:38.079
These are eighty five percent pro eligibility. The question that

483
00:29:38.200 --> 00:29:40.599
for me is that whether or not I think their

484
00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:42.680
recommendation was unreasonable to.

485
00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:44.680
The point where I'm not going to follow it.

486
00:29:46.400 --> 00:29:51.519
A couple concerns I have about the case and about

487
00:29:51.599 --> 00:29:53.359
your conduct in this case.

488
00:29:55.440 --> 00:29:56.880
First of all, you were an educator.

489
00:29:57.680 --> 00:29:59.720
Okay, you're an educator of these kids.

490
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:01.519
These are trouble kits.

491
00:30:01.559 --> 00:30:03.720
That that's why they're there. I mean, you're there to

492
00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:08.079
set a better example. And the letters you sent, which

493
00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:12.079
I mean they were, they were juicy. I mean, there

494
00:30:12.079 --> 00:30:16.839
were things you'd see in a Triple X movie, completely inappropriate, obviously,

495
00:30:16.920 --> 00:30:18.799
and I think you know that for a for a,

496
00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:21.799
for a young man of that age, and as an educator,

497
00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:25.079
it was incumbent upon you to set a better example.

498
00:30:25.880 --> 00:30:28.519
My biggest concern is the fact that though miss Barton

499
00:30:28.640 --> 00:30:28.960
is this.

500
00:30:29.079 --> 00:30:32.759
Is that you were counseled to stop this.

501
00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:38.960
Okay, we heard testimony from your supervisor, basically the supervising

502
00:30:39.160 --> 00:30:43.160
educator at the facility when you when you taught there,

503
00:30:43.200 --> 00:30:44.119
Brad Stevens.

504
00:30:44.759 --> 00:30:48.319
He pulled in his office and said, hey, we're getting complaints.

505
00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:51.799
You're around this kid too much. You need to distance

506
00:30:51.839 --> 00:30:52.799
yourself from him.

507
00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:55.599
This is not a good look. You're you're gonna get

508
00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:56.759
yourself in a spot here.

509
00:30:58.759 --> 00:31:04.680
I think that another witness, Jessica Black, testified that they

510
00:31:04.720 --> 00:31:08.759
actually moved this young man to another part of the building,

511
00:31:09.519 --> 00:31:12.000
another pod, so to speak, to try to get him

512
00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:15.039
away from you. And ma'am, not only did you not

513
00:31:15.160 --> 00:31:19.160
take heed that advice and stop, it looks like to

514
00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:24.839
me you actually even doubled down on the behavior after that.

515
00:31:24.640 --> 00:31:27.000
And that's concerning that.

516
00:31:27.000 --> 00:31:30.680
That's that's concerning I know a lot of people in

517
00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:33.480
your letter talk about your mental health issues, that you've

518
00:31:33.559 --> 00:31:37.960
had issues with being bipolar, and and and I don't

519
00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:41.359
doubt any any of that. I will say, though the

520
00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:45.079
nine hundred and ninety three pages of letters pictures everything else.

521
00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:49.640
I mean, it depicts a very intelligent and articulate young

522
00:31:49.680 --> 00:31:55.160
woman who was clearly articulating her thoughts and desires to

523
00:31:55.279 --> 00:31:55.799
this kid.

524
00:31:57.279 --> 00:32:00.559
I don't doubt you have some issues, but it's just those.

525
00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:03.799
Issues aren't enough for me to not follow the jury

526
00:32:03.839 --> 00:32:07.640
recommendation in this particular case. I just don't find even

527
00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:09.400
though it might not have been what I would have

528
00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:11.519
done if I were sitting on the jury, it probably

529
00:32:11.519 --> 00:32:15.440
would not have been. I don't find it an unreasonable recommendation,

530
00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:18.599
and so I'm going to follow it. So on the

531
00:32:18.640 --> 00:32:21.839
case on the charge of sexual abuse first degree, I'm

532
00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:23.559
going to impose a sentence.

533
00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:24.039
Of four years.

534
00:32:25.519 --> 00:32:29.039
On the charge of unlawful transaction with a minor illegal

535
00:32:29.160 --> 00:32:32.079
sex act child under the age of eighteen, I'm going

536
00:32:32.160 --> 00:32:34.960
to impose a sentence of ten years. Pursuing into the

537
00:32:35.039 --> 00:32:38.359
jury's recommendation, I'm going to run those sentences consecutive for

538
00:32:38.400 --> 00:32:41.880
a total of fourteen years. I'm also going to sign

539
00:32:42.119 --> 00:32:45.759
an order requiring you to register as a sex offender

540
00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:51.119
as required by law for twenty years. I'm signing the

541
00:32:51.160 --> 00:32:54.119
interpersonal protective order that would prohibit you from.

542
00:32:53.920 --> 00:32:55.759
Having contact with this young man.

543
00:32:56.519 --> 00:32:58.720
I think that is for a period of.

544
00:33:01.799 --> 00:33:02.400
Three years.

545
00:33:02.440 --> 00:33:05.480
I think that should be I'm ten years. I'm sorry.

546
00:33:05.640 --> 00:33:08.200
Yeah, I don't really see that as being an issue,

547
00:33:08.240 --> 00:33:10.160
but that you are under a court order to have

548
00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:13.039
no contact with him for that period of time. And

549
00:33:13.160 --> 00:33:16.960
obviously I'm gonna wave your fines and cost on this

550
00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:22.359
particular case based upon the sentence, ma'am. I wish you

551
00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:26.279
the best, I truly do up on your release. You

552
00:33:26.319 --> 00:33:28.480
know it's gonna be It's gonna be a while, but

553
00:33:29.039 --> 00:33:31.319
in the big scheme of things, when.

554
00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:33.319
You are released, you're going to be a relatively young woman.

555
00:33:34.079 --> 00:33:34.359
You are.

556
00:33:35.200 --> 00:33:36.160
You have the rest of your.

557
00:33:36.240 --> 00:33:39.319
Life to live and spend time with your family and children,

558
00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:41.920
and I wish.

559
00:33:41.680 --> 00:33:45.160
You well up on your release. Good luck. That'll conclude it.

560
00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:45.279
You.

561
00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:49.200
So, this is the first time you will ever hear me,

562
00:33:49.720 --> 00:33:53.039
and likely the only time that a sentence may have

563
00:33:53.119 --> 00:33:54.960
been a little bit too stiff.

564
00:33:55.559 --> 00:33:56.519
And here's why.

565
00:33:57.000 --> 00:33:58.799
And I want you to throw out the whole kill

566
00:33:58.839 --> 00:34:02.880
my husband thing because she was acquitted of that. The

567
00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:06.839
fact is really what it boils down to. She was

568
00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:11.079
passing love letters in some new pictures back and forth

569
00:34:11.320 --> 00:34:14.440
to this seventeen year old and she may have touched

570
00:34:14.639 --> 00:34:18.559
is dick a couple of times. They never had sex

571
00:34:19.119 --> 00:34:22.239
or anything like that. Now, do I think she should

572
00:34:22.239 --> 00:34:25.840
have done some jail time? Yeah, two to four years

573
00:34:25.880 --> 00:34:32.360
seems appropriate. But fourteen years when just about every teacher

574
00:34:32.760 --> 00:34:37.679
that I've covered has had multiple instances of sex with

575
00:34:37.920 --> 00:34:41.159
multiple students a lot of the time, some of them

576
00:34:41.199 --> 00:34:44.000
fifty sixty times, and all they get is probation.

577
00:34:45.559 --> 00:34:50.400
This one just doesn't fit. It's almost on the extreme

578
00:34:50.599 --> 00:34:52.360
side of it.

579
00:34:52.719 --> 00:34:55.320
I'd be curious to know what your thoughts are, But

580
00:34:55.960 --> 00:35:00.400
there you have it. Another stayed down in Kentucky. I'm

581
00:35:00.440 --> 00:35:04.920
giving you a C on the bad teachers consequence scale.

582
00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:06.199
One of them I.

583
00:35:06.159 --> 00:35:09.639
Think suffered really too much of a consequence, the other

584
00:35:09.719 --> 00:35:13.159
one not enough in my opinion.

585
00:35:13.480 --> 00:35:15.840
So there you have it, you get a C. Thank

586
00:35:15.880 --> 00:35:17.519
you so much for listening.

587
00:35:18.480 --> 00:35:22.920
Check out the Patreon commercial, free early releases.

588
00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:26.239
Bonus episodes. I Do all kinds of stuff.

Files.

592
00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:41.199
Once again, Patreon dot com exposed podcast files. And I

593
00:35:41.199 --> 00:35:44.119
want to tell my Patreon members, I can't tell you

594
00:35:44.159 --> 00:35:47.280
how much I love you for supporting what I do

595
00:35:47.360 --> 00:35:48.000
here on the show.

596
00:35:48.079 --> 00:35:49.280
I could not do it without you.

597
00:35:49.480 --> 00:35:52.079
Before I get out of here today, I do want

598
00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:57.280
to mention this. I have had a conglomerate of messages

599
00:35:57.519 --> 00:36:01.199
asking me about Epstein files and am I gonna do

600
00:36:01.679 --> 00:36:05.639
an episode on Epstein. I'm not only doing an episode

601
00:36:05.719 --> 00:36:10.280
on Epstein. I'm doing an entire series on Epstein. It

602
00:36:10.440 --> 00:36:15.960
takes time, y'all. Hell, I gotta go through three million files,

603
00:36:16.039 --> 00:36:19.519
and look, I read this shit. I don't just go

604
00:36:19.559 --> 00:36:24.440
off the hip. I read and gather facts, and that

605
00:36:24.559 --> 00:36:28.079
takes time, especially in this case. I can tell you

606
00:36:28.480 --> 00:36:32.079
that the first episode is going to start off with

607
00:36:32.239 --> 00:36:36.599
the Palm Beach arrest of Epstein way back in the day,

608
00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:39.360
and we're gonna pick it up from there, and we're

609
00:36:39.360 --> 00:36:43.360
gonna go all the way up to today. And I

610
00:36:43.400 --> 00:36:47.880
know it's interesting as of today, Actually Hillary Clinton is

611
00:36:48.079 --> 00:36:51.760
right now as I'm recording, testifying in Congress. But yes,

612
00:36:52.360 --> 00:36:57.280
I'm gonna be issuing an entire series dedicated to the

613
00:36:57.280 --> 00:37:01.519
Epstein Files. It's coming your way. I'm exactly sure when

614
00:37:01.559 --> 00:37:03.639
that first episode is going to drop. It's still going

615
00:37:03.719 --> 00:37:05.840
to be a little bit. But I love it that

616
00:37:05.960 --> 00:37:08.880
y'all are interested in it, so am I. But that

617
00:37:09.119 --> 00:37:11.119
sucker will blow your mind.

618
00:37:12.280 --> 00:37:13.599
That will blow.

619
00:37:13.280 --> 00:37:17.599
Your mind when you're a storyteller, because number one, you

620
00:37:17.639 --> 00:37:20.320
want to get it all right, and number two, it

621
00:37:20.400 --> 00:37:24.159
is just so mind blowing. I can't even put it

622
00:37:24.199 --> 00:37:26.400
into words. But thank you for your interest, and that's

623
00:37:26.440 --> 00:37:30.880
coming your way. And until next time for exposed scandalous

624
00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:34.119
files of the elite, I'm your host, Jim Chapman.

625
00:37:34.880 --> 00:37:35.480
Much love

626
00:38:02.320 --> 00:38:06.639
Do
