Cassidy Carter, a former substitute teacher, has been sentenced to two years in jail for sending nude images of herself to a 14-year-old middle school student.
A judge handed down the sentence after Carter pleaded guilty to one count of battery resulting in moderate bodily injury and one count of battery resulting in moderate bodily injury.
Carter, who was 21 at the time of the incident, sent the images to the teen while she was employed as a substitute teacher at a local school corporation.
The unidentified student told a school resource officer about the incident, which led to an investigation and the discovery of nude photos of Carter on her phone, along with several messages.
Carter had been originally charged with one count of child solicitation, but the charge was later altered after the victim moved out of the area and indicated that they no longer wanted to be involved in the case.
The incident occurred in late 2023, and Carter's actions are a stark reminder of the importance of maintaining professional boundaries, especially in a position of trust like a teacher.
