A North Dakota teacher has been accused of sharing hundreds of explicit photos and Snapchat messages with two students before having sex with one of them.
Shannon Moser of Moorhead, was charged in Cass County District Court with three felony charges after allegedly sharing hundreds of sexually explicit Snapchat videos and photos with two male students and having sex with one along a gravel road.
Moser,37, had been teaching science at Liberty Middle School for the last two years before she resigned earlier this month.
According to a statement from the West Fargo Police Department, officers received an anonymous tip in June that the married mother-of-four was having sex with a 16-year-old male student on a gravel road in Rendezvous Park in West Fargo, and giving him electronic tobacco products.
Other anonymous complaints alleged that the former teacher had also shared nude Snapchat photos with the student.
Authorities questioned the teen on July 3, but he denied an inappropriate relationship with the teacher. When cops interviewed his friend, he claimed the student had talked about having sex with Moser in the park.
Police re-interviewed the student, who had admitted to his mother that he had sex with Moser. The student told police he had known Moser personally for about two years, as she was considered a family friend. They had added each other on Snapchat in May or early June, and she began sending him sexually explicit photos and messages.
After about three days, the student said Moser asked to meet, and the two met at Rendezvous Park sometime in early June during the evening. The boy got in her van, and they drove west of West Fargo, where she pulled over on a gravel road and the two had sex.
At that time, Moser allegedly told the boy, “no one can know,” about their sexual relationship.
Moser subsequently shared more photos following the encounter and asked at least once more if he wanted to have sex, the boy said, but he declined.
On July 11, Moser agreed to speak with investigators at the Moorhead Police Department after officers picked her up from her home.
According to WDAZ, a second victim, a 15-year-old boy, told officers on July 16 that he and Moser had been sharing sexually explicit photos through Snapchat for about a year, starting when he was 14 years old.
The 15-year-old boy claimed the teacher even sent him a video of herself and her husband having sex.
Police said the second victim never had any physical contact with Moser.
Other complaints were filed against Moser, including one that claimed she allowed students to call her ‘Kim Kardashian’.

It was revealed that staffers had noticed Moser’s interactions with male students and questioned whether she was crossing student-teacher relationship boundaries.
One of her co-workers cited an incident that occurred while Moser was playing basketball with an eighth grade boy. The co-worker said in the complaint that ‘the interactions appeared to be uncomfortable because of the physical nature of the basketball game and their interactions appeared to cross student-teacher boundaries’.
Some students alleged that the former teacher had been teaching at the school for two years, even attended a student party in 2017, and took photos with some students.
West Fargo Schools in a statement said that the district ‘will continue cooperating with the Police Department in their investigation, and will not comment further, in order to not jeopardize their progress’.
Moser has denied the allegations, but said ‘we always preach, “tell the truth,” and I have not been,’ according to the station.
Police have since found URLs for porn sites that included younger boys engaging in sex with older women on her cellphone’s browsing history.
Moser has been charged with two counts of using a minor in a sexual performance, and one count of sexual assault.
