00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:24.039
Hi, everyone, Welcome back to Exposed Scandalous Files of the Elite.
2
00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:27.280
I am your host, Jim Chapman, and today I am
3
00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:30.640
going to bring you a case that is growing as
4
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:34.679
we speak in the state of Kentucky. But the law
5
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:37.119
that I'm going to talk about today, and the law
6
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:41.079
this teacher is charged with, is really a new law
7
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:44.960
in many parts of the country, including my state of Louisiana,
8
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:49.679
and that is the new grooming law. So before we
9
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:53.960
get into the very first arrest to take place when
10
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:58.159
this grooming law went into effect in the state of Kentucky,
11
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:01.000
and wouldn't you know it, it was a teacher, which
12
00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:04.239
I love teachers, y'all, so don't come at me if
13
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:07.159
you're a teacher, because all of the good teachers that
14
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:11.879
I know want me exposing these bad teachers. No one
15
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:15.239
hates a bad teacher more than a good teacher because
16
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:19.280
they throw shade on the entire profession when.
17
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:21.400
They do stupid stuff.
18
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:24.040
Like I'm going to tell you about today. Now, before
19
00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:26.400
we get into it, I want to break down what
20
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:30.439
grooming is specifically in the state of Kentucky, because that
21
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:34.120
is where this case is being prosecuted. But the definition
22
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:38.760
could really apply to just about any state. So Kentucky's
23
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:45.640
grooming law codified as KRS five ten point one six zero,
24
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:50.239
that is grooming a minor. It was created by House
25
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:53.959
Bill number four of the twenty twenty six regular.
26
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:57.920
Session in Kentucky and it took effect just a.
27
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:02.120
Few weeks ago from this recording July fifteenth of twenty
28
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:06.000
twenty six. So the gist of this law is a
29
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:11.120
person is guilty of grooming a minor when a being
30
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:14.680
eighteen years of age or older, he or she engages
31
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:18.319
in grooming behavior directed at a miner who is under
32
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:24.400
fourteen years old with the intent to entice, coerce, solicit,
33
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:28.319
or induce a minor to engage in sexual conduct with
34
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:32.159
the person or another person, or and it goes into
35
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:37.199
section B. Being a person of authority or position of
36
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:41.759
special trust, as those terms are defined, he or she
37
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:45.159
engages in grooming behavior directed at a miner who is
38
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:50.680
under eighteen with the intent to one entice, coerce, solicit,
39
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:54.680
or induce the minor into sexual conduct with the person
40
00:02:54.879 --> 00:03:01.439
or another person, or to develop an intimate or secretive relatelationship.
41
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:01.439
With the minor.
42
00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:05.120
And that number two is going to create an issue
43
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:07.919
for our subject for today. Now, it goes on to say,
44
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:12.000
for violation of sub Section one, a grooming a minor
45
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:15.159
is a Class A misdemeanor, unless the miner is under
46
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:18.240
twelve years old, in which case it is a Class
47
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:23.080
D felony. So a misdemeanor twelve years and older of
48
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:27.520
felony under the age of twelve, Then sub Section B says,
49
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:30.840
for a violation of sub Section one of this section,
50
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:34.120
grooming a minor is a Class D felony, unless the
51
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:36.759
miner is under twelve, in which case it's a Class
52
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:40.919
C felony. Any sentence impost on the defendant under this
53
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:45.719
section shall run concurrently with any sentence imposed foreign offense
54
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:49.280
specified in this Chapter arising from the same course of
55
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:52.719
conduct with the same victim. This section shall not be
56
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:56.039
construed to prevent a person from communicating with a minor
57
00:03:56.080 --> 00:04:00.360
for any lawful or legitimate purpose, including, but not limit to,
58
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:06.680
teaching curriculum on human sexuality or STDs as provided, and
59
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:11.400
it gives the section code the use of traceable communication
60
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:16.000
systems by a school, district employee or volunteer, the diagnosis
61
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:18.519
or treatment of a minor by a health care provider,
62
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:22.319
any health care facility communicating with a minor to determine
63
00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:26.800
if the minor is dependent, neglected, or abused, age appropriate
64
00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:31.160
conversations about puberty or human sexuality with a minor by
65
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:34.600
the minor's sibling or parent or guardian, and then any
66
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:36.879
conversation with a minor that is part of a person's
67
00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:41.920
job related or volunteer related duties. Effect of July fifteenth
68
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:46.560
of twenty twenty six. Now the key related definition from
69
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:50.920
all of that means grioming behavior is a course of
70
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:54.839
conduct directed at a minor that is intended to establish
71
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:59.480
an emotional connection with a minor through manipulation, trust building,
72
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:03.279
or in lunce to a facilitate future acts of sexual
73
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:06.279
conduct or being normalized or.
74
00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:08.560
Desynthesized the minor two acts.
75
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:12.160
Of sexual conduct, even in no in person meeting or
76
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:15.959
act of sexual conduct is completed. This conduct may occur
77
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:19.360
online or in person, through third parties, or by any
78
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:24.240
other indirect methods to facilitate the manipulation of a minor.
79
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:25.279
So that law went.
80
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:29.000
Into effect in Kentucky as I said on July fifteenth,
81
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:32.759
and just three weeks later, on August seventh, of twenty
82
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:37.040
twenty six, the state made the very first arrest under
83
00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:41.399
this law, arresting twenty five year old middle school teacher
84
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:42.759
Sadie Flores.
85
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:45.639
Now, what did she do, how did police discover it?
86
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:49.959
In? What type of sentence is she possibly facing. That's
87
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:52.680
what we're going to cover today, so let's get into it.
88
00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:55.920
In twenty five year old Sadie Flores was a teacher
89
00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:00.519
at Graves County Middle School and miss in Mayfield, Kentucky,
90
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.879
which is a smaller city in Kentucky, just ten thousand
91
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:09.120
residents and it's less than seven miles seven square miles
92
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:14.639
in size. Now, in twenty twenty one, a major disaster hit.
93
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:15.519
The city of Mayfield.
94
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:18.120
And you may be like, man, I thought, I've heard
95
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:21.279
of Mayfield, Kentucky before, and this may be where you
96
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:24.920
heard it. It was Sadie's hometown and where she herself
97
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:28.560
was a volleyball star. Now, Sadie was nineteen when an
98
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:32.959
EF four tornado ripped through that city. This was on
99
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:36.040
the night of December tenth of twenty twenty one, and
100
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:40.399
it was horrific y'all, over four thousand structures were damaged
101
00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:44.759
or completely destroyed in that city, including nearly thirty eight
102
00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:49.680
hundred residences and one hundred and eighty three commercial buildings
103
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:54.000
just decimated this town. And sadly, twenty two people in
104
00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:57.079
this small city were killed in two more in a
105
00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:01.519
neighboring city. Now, why do I bring that up? Because
106
00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:05.839
Sadie was very active on Facebook with pictures of the
107
00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:10.959
devastation from this horrific event, request for prayers, all those
108
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:16.480
sorts of things. And she was really dedicated to this
109
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:20.240
city from all, from everything really that I can see
110
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:24.199
and find. Now, Sadie gets married on June third of
111
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:27.879
twenty twenty two to her high school sweetheart. She was
112
00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:31.000
active in her church and her wedding pictures they would
113
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:36.439
depict a handsome groom and a stunningly beautiful young lady.
114
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:41.040
She is really attractive here, I mean all appearances, seems
115
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:43.959
to be living the good life, right, She's got a
116
00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:48.920
handsome husband, She's starting out in her work world and
117
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:54.040
in her career. And in twenty twenty three she graduates college.
118
00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:58.160
Now she has a young daughter in early twenty twenty five.
119
00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:02.639
And look, it's obvious that Sadie was really proud to
120
00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:03.519
become a teacher.
121
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:04.240
Believe it or not.
122
00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:07.079
Her Facebook is still up and I was able to
123
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:09.720
kind of go through there and you can tell very
124
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:13.040
proud to become a teacher, very proud of her family.
125
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:18.240
Seems like just your normal, everyday, awesome person on the outside.
126
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:19.480
Now, she is.
127
00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:24.399
An LBD teacher at Graves County Middle School, which I
128
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:27.800
had no clue what that was, so I looked it up,
129
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:31.480
and an LBD teacher is basically the same.
130
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:33.600
As a special education teacher.
131
00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:37.679
They teach students from kindergarten through high school who has
132
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:45.120
specific learning disabilities, minor intellectual disabilities, emotional and behavior disorders
133
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:52.000
or ADHD. Now, the most vulnerable students are who she taught.
134
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:54.840
And it's not clear if what I'm I about to
135
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:58.679
tell you about was an LBED student or a regular student,
136
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:01.759
and nothing's came out on that, but it's worth mentioning
137
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.120
what she did because of nothing else, it shows that
138
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:08.480
she worked with these kids who were very vulnerable. Now
139
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:12.320
you see all that, you couple it with what appears
140
00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:15.639
to be a growing family, and you have to think, Wow,
141
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:19.600
this girl is on track. So what happened here? Well,
142
00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:23.519
a charging document comes out from police, and the local
143
00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:27.639
sheriff says that police first learned that Flores was having
144
00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:32.399
what he called an improper relationship with a student through
145
00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:37.720
the school district who called to get police involved. Deputies,
146
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:39.320
of course they investigate this.
147
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:40.320
They see these.
148
00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:45.639
Electronics, cell phones, They conduct interviews with people, including Flores,
149
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:49.600
and at that time whatever was said in that interview
150
00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:53.240
caused them to place her under arrest, and that uniform
151
00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:56.279
citation that came out it went further saying the parent
152
00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:59.399
of a fourteen year old student went through the fourteen
153
00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:04.960
year old's phone and apparently found messages between Flores in
154
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:08.519
this student. And I can't say how key that is
155
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:11.879
for any parent. Get in your kid's business and you're
156
00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:14.200
going to learn why that's so important later on.
157
00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:17.080
But go through the phone, be sneaky, do whatever you
158
00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:17.480
have to do.
159
00:10:17.559 --> 00:10:21.519
There too many ways for bad actors to contact your
160
00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:26.519
children these days now. Investigators say the messages upon review
161
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:31.039
were determined to not be a legitimate purpose and were
162
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:35.399
not school related, meaning the messages weren't anything to do
163
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:40.639
with innocence right. The parent also identify multiple incoming phone
164
00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:44.399
calls that were identified as FaceTime calls that occurred on
165
00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:49.120
multiple occasions in the late evening hours that mom and
166
00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:54.080
dad had no idea about. So this teacher is facetiming
167
00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:58.039
this student late at night when everybody else is asleep, Allegedly.
168
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:01.639
The document goes on to say, during the investigation, the
169
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:07.000
police discovered communication on multiple social media apps, which I
170
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:11.039
would assume y'all was private messages, and that these messages
171
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:12.559
appeared to be attempts to.
172
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:15.559
Manipulate this fourteen year old, and that the.
173
00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:21.320
Messages did express feelings of love and admiration more so
174
00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:25.080
than just a teacher student relationship.
175
00:11:25.159 --> 00:11:26.399
That's how they laid that out.
176
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:31.000
Nothing as far as concrete text have come out as
177
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:34.080
of this recording. It was also determined that Flores and
178
00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:37.919
the student met in secret prior to a school function
179
00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:42.440
outside of school for the specific purpose of meeting, which
180
00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:46.440
means Flores was not part of the school function that
181
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:50.519
was going on, but she lived in close proximity to
182
00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:53.559
the event and goes and meets this fourteen year old
183
00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:58.360
in secret in person. Now, that investigation, it goes on
184
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:03.240
to say, is on going pending Snapchat and Instagram records,
185
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:07.440
meaning more charges may be coming. And I don't know
186
00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:09.679
one way or the other, but I would suspect there's
187
00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:12.879
probably going to be more charges laid down once they
188
00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:16.559
get the records of the snapchat in Instagram chats. Now,
189
00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:21.440
Flores is being charged with a Class D felony aspect
190
00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:25.720
of that new grooming law specifically, and that is grooming
191
00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:28.799
of a miner by a person in a position of
192
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:33.279
authority by developing a secretive relationship with the miners. So,
193
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:37.480
keeping all that a secret actually moved her shit up
194
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:41.960
from a misdemeanor to a felony. So let's go over
195
00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:45.799
the position of authority section of this law again, using
196
00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:49.759
the specific section she was charged with. It reads being
197
00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:53.320
a person in a position of authority or special trust
198
00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:56.799
engaging in grooming behavior with a minor under the age
199
00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:00.279
of eighteen by attempting to entice, co worse, solicit or
200
00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:04.559
induce the minor to engage in sexual activity. So there's
201
00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:07.480
probably some evidence there that the police have. You could
202
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:11.279
derive by the charges that not only was she talking
203
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:15.639
inappropriately to him, she was trying to induce him into
204
00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:19.480
sexual activity, which it's important to mention just a month ago,
205
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:24.200
the attempt was not necessarily illegal. It certainly could get
206
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:28.159
you fired if you were a teacher, but you couldn't
207
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:33.200
technically get arrested for a felony for just say, asking
208
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:36.279
a student to have sex. Now, you can now they
209
00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:39.759
may discover this relationship went a little bit further than
210
00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:42.840
just talking, and I have my suspicions, but no evidence
211
00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:45.399
has come out yet, but if it does, you can
212
00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:47.840
rest assured those charges.
213
00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:48.279
Will go up.
214
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:52.960
Now, as it stands, her class D felony comes with
215
00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:56.960
a one to five year possible prison sentence in a
216
00:13:57.080 --> 00:14:01.159
ten thousand dollars fine if she had no actual conduct
217
00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:05.960
or contact with this student. One to five years obviously
218
00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:09.720
goes up from there if they find out pictures were
219
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:14.919
exchanged new pictures, or sex was being had, those sorts
220
00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:18.559
of things. Now, surprisingly, at least of this recording, as
221
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:19.559
I said, her.
222
00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:20.960
Facebook page is still up.
223
00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:23.120
As a matter of fact, you can see her just
224
00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:27.440
four days prior to this arrest at a church function
225
00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:32.120
with her husband and her child, just living a blessed life.
226
00:14:32.200 --> 00:14:33.200
So after the.
227
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:36.799
Arrest, the school comes out and they essentially say they
228
00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:40.559
were made aware that mom found all this communication and
229
00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:43.840
that they immediately made the police aware. And that's a
230
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:47.200
good thing because that is exactly what they should have done.
231
00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:50.879
No attempt to cover up that you see sometimes with
232
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:54.639
these schools where they're worried about getting shade thrown on them.
233
00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:57.639
Or the blame being thrown on them, and some school
234
00:14:57.960 --> 00:15:01.279
districts do try to hide it, cover it up. They
235
00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:03.759
didn't in this case. They called the police right off
236
00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:07.080
the bat. Now, you may wonder what led Kentucky to
237
00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:09.080
enacting this grooming law.
238
00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:09.960
In one of the.
239
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:14.519
Cases that actually led to it involved a band director
240
00:15:14.759 --> 00:15:18.360
at a high school in Kentucky who used grooming to
241
00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:24.000
the extreme over a year of grooming before sexually assaulting
242
00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:24.600
a student.
243
00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:28.159
I'll tell you about that in just a few minutes. Now.
