Shannon Moser, a 37-year-old middle school teacher at Liberty Middle School in West Fargo, North Dakota, has been charged with sex-related crimes involving two male students.
According to reports, Moser, — who allegedly allowed students to call her “Kim Kardashian” — is accused of sharing sexually explicit videos with two boys on SnapChat and of having sex with one of the teens.
Police opened an investigation into Moser after they received tips that she had shared naked SnapChat videos with a 16-year-old boy.
Moser, a mother of four who has been a science teacher at Liberty since 2016, was charged with two counts of using a minor in a sexual performance and one count of sexual assault.
She resigned from her position on July 12.

The boy denied having an inappropriate relationship with the teacher, but his friend told police that the boy had talked about having sex with Moser in the park. The 16-year-old also had told his mom about his intimate relationship with the teacher, police said.
The student finally came clean and told police he had known Moser, a family friend, personally for about two years and that they had added each other on Snapchat.
The boy said Moser asked to meet him one evening in early June at Rendezvous Park, where she drove him in her van outside West Fargo. She pulled over on a gravel road and the two had sex, according to a police report. Moser then told him, “No one can know,” according to the report.
The boy said Moser shared more photos after their encounter and asked at least once more if he wanted to have sex — but he turned her down.
Moser is just the latest teacher to be charged for an alleged relationship with a teenager student.
