McKenna Kindred broke down in tears at court as she apologised and said she was ‘deeply ashamed’ A teacher broke down in tears after hearing she would be spared jail for having sex with a teenage student. McKenna Kindred, 25, apologised to her victim and said she was ‘deeply ashamed’ after pleading guilty on Thursday to sexual misconduct with a minor and communication with a minor for immoral purposes.
Kindred’s relationship with the student began in June 2022 ‘My mental health has also been severely affected by this event. I am deeply ashamed of the pain I have caused.’ The victim’s mother said the teacher’s ‘predatory actions’ had been an ‘abuse of power’, and that since the incident ‘a light used to carry has been dimmed.’ Last year, Central Valley School District announced Kindred had resigned from her position at the school in Spokane Valley.
