Overview
- Messages documented in court records show Kindred began exchanging explicit texts, photos, and videos with a 17-year-old student after he found her Instagram in June 2022.
- In one exchange, Kindred suggested using Snapchat to conceal communications after the teen referenced her liking a message and using a sex toy, according to the records.
- The student told investigators he met Kindred at her Spokane home in November 2022 while her husband was away, describing several hours of sexual activity before leaving late that night.
- Classmates later provided screenshots to school officials, leading to an investigation; Kindred was placed on leave, resigned, and her phone was forensically examined to corroborate the messages.
- Kindred pleaded guilty to first-degree sexual misconduct in March 2024, received two years’ probation, $700 in fines, and a 10-year sex-offender registration, surrendered her teaching license, and later moved with her husband to a home in Kuna, Idaho.
