Kentucky Substitute Teacher Accused of Video Chat with Underage Student While Naked in Shower to Arrange Sex

A Kentucky substitute teacher is under investigation for allegedly engaging in explicit video chats with an underage student while in the shower. Authorities report that Krystal Sims, 30, exposed herself during these interactions to arrange a sexual meeting.

Last Tuesday, a detective from the Barren County Sheriff’s Office met with the underage boy following reports of inappropriate communication between him and Sims. The investigation began after the department received information regarding their exchanges, as detailed in a uniform citation.

Sims reportedly connected with the student through Snapchat after he requested to add her as a friend. Their online conversations quickly escalated, leading to plans for a sexual encounter in Cave City, located north of Nashville, Tennessee.

On August 22, the student recorded a phone call with Sims, although he did not capture the subsequent explicit video chat. During the recorded call, a woman’s voice can be heard asking if the boy would meet her.

As the conversation shifted to video chat, authorities allege that Sims exposed her breasts while in the shower. Following this interaction, she informed deputies that she had previously declined several friend requests from male students on social media.

When questioned, Sims acknowledged her identity in the recorded call but claimed her intention was solely to have the student apologize for his behavior in class. She maintained that no physical contact occurred between them.

The specific school where Sims served as a substitute teacher has not been disclosed. Later that day, she was arrested and charged with unlawfully using electronic communication to solicit or promote sexual activity with a minor.

After posting a $25,000 cash bond on Monday, Sims was released from custody. Court records indicate she is scheduled for arraignment on Wednesday.
