A paraprofessional in a Texas school district was fired from a high school after she was accused of sending sexually explicit photos and videos of herself by Snapchat to a 15-year-old student, the Houston Chronicle reported.
According to court records, Kelsie Rochelle Koepke, 25, of Katy, allegedly sent nude photos of herself to the student at Paetow High School, where she worked, through the Snapchat application, the newspaper reported.
Koepke was charged with improper relationship with a student, a second-degree felony, and solicitation of a minor, according to the Chronicle. She was released on a $15,000 bond, the newspaper reported.
According to court documents, Koepke exchanged Snapchat information with the student around October 2017, and began a chat relationship with him, KTRK reported.
Koepke used the nicknames "kelsie_koepke" and "Momma K," the television station reported, citing court documents. The conversations allegedly turned sexual in nature, and “she instructed him not to save any of their chats," according to court documents.
Koepke then allegedly sent the first set of nude photos and videos of herself on homecoming night, KTRK reported.
Koepke told investigators she thought she was sending the nude photos to someone else, the Chronicle reported. When she found out she was sending the photos to a student, she said she did not delete him from Snapchat because she wanted to "keep the peace," the newspaper reported, citing court records.
The student allegedly receiving the photos and videos reported what happened to school officials on Feb. 28, KTRK reported.
Paetow High School Principal Mindy Dickerson sent a letter out to parents advising them of the situation, the Chronicle reported.
