A teacher from Kentucky has entered a plea of not guilty following allegations of engaging in “sexual conversations” with a student in Louisville.

As reported by WDRB, Sydne Graf, aged 36, made her court appearance last week facing a felony charge related to procuring or promoting the use of a minor via electronic means. Her bail has been set at $100,000 by the presiding judge.

According to an arrest citation, the investigation by Louisville Metro Police was initiated in December when Jefferson County Public Schools alerted authorities about a possible case of student exploitation.

ABC 13 highlights that Graf, who serves as a fifth-grade math teacher at Smyrna Elementary School in Louisville, is accused of inappropriate conduct with a student during a Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) day.

The arrest document reveals that investigators have acquired screenshots and videos from the incident, depicting conversations between Graf and the student regarding oral sex.

Police arrested Graf on December 15, who had allegedly been on her way to pick the student up near his home.

Court records indicated that Graf has also been charged with two counts of possession of a controlled substance. Police reportedly found a pill container inside her purse that contained what they thought to be hydrocodone and Adderall.

Graf has been reassigned at the school to an area in which she will have no contact with children as the investigation continues.

“We know situations like this can cause anxiety for students and families,” Smyrna Elementary Principal Amanda Cooper said.

“Our mental health team is always available. If you feel your student would benefit from talking with our mental health practitioner or counselor, please let us know.”
