Married special education teacher pleads guilty to sending nud£s to student on Snapchat

A married special education teacher from Missouri has admitted to sending nud£ images to a 16-year-old student.

Rikki Lynn Laughlin, 26, was fired after allegations emerged that she’d sent X-rated photos and a video of herself using a sex toy to a male teenager on Snapchat, as well as soliciting nud£ pics of the boy and trying to pressure him into having s£x, according to Maries County investigators.

After initially denying a slew of criminal activity with a child, which included several more severe charges, including statutory r@pe and s£x trafficking, Laughlin has avoided jail after pleading guilty to lesser charges, a local media outlet reported.

Laughlin pleaded guilty to endangering the welfare of a child, creating substantial risk, last Thursday, July 24, according to the report.

She was a teacher at St. James High School in St. James, Missouri, around 75 miles southwest of St. Louis, at the time of the crimes between Sept. 8 and Oct. 19, 2023.

On Oct. 23, 2024, prosecutors charged Laughlin with felony counts of possession of child p0rnography, tamper or attempt to tamper with a victim in a felony prosecution, statutory r@pe – 2nd degree, s£xual exploitation of a minor, tampering with physical evidence in a felony prosecution, furnishing p0rnographic material to a minor, and s£xual trafficking of a child – 2nd degree – under 18 years of age.

Laughlin was sentenced to five years of probation last week.

The student reportedly told police that “things progressed fast” after the Snapchat exchange and that he and Laughlin had kissed.

When she allegedly invited him to have s£x, he “made excuses” because “he did not feel comfortable,” a probable cause statement by the Maries County Sheriff’s Office states.

Her husband was reportedly “away” at the time.

Maries County officials first launched an investigation after a Phelps County detective tipped them off about an inappropriate relationship at the school, KSDK reported at the time, citing the statement.

The case was then transferred to Grundy County on a change of venue in May last year, KTTN reported.

The same detective later visited Laughlin at her home, where she allegedly acknowledged that she’d received lewd photos from the boy, but claimed he had initiated their contact.

Laughlin also claimed she had not been aware he was a minor.

The detective’s report alleges Laughlin told the student she could go to jail for the material they had exchanged and asked him to delete them when rumours about their relationship spread at the school.

Laughlin has since had her contract at St. James High School in Missouri terminated.
