Grand Jury to Hear Case of JCPS Teacher Accused of Sexual Conversations With Student

Prosecutors waived the case to a grand jury with a Jan. 26 court date.

Overview

  • Sydne Graf, 36, is charged with procuring or promoting the use of a minor by electronic means after alleged explicit exchanges during a Dec. 15 NTI day.
  • She pleaded not guilty as a judge set $100,000 bond, imposed a no-contact order with the child, and barred social media use.
  • Graf posted bond and is on house arrest, according to court proceedings reported Friday.
  • Police say she was arrested when she went to pick up the boy near his home, and an arrest citation notes an admission to explicit conversations.
  • JCPS identified Graf as a Smyrna Elementary math teacher and reassigned her to a role without student contact during the investigation.
