[Sugar Cookie]

A Kentucky teacher is accused by authorities of soliciting a minor to kill her husband.

Elena Bardin, 27, is currently in custody and facing multiple charges following an investigation by detectives with the Kentucky State Police.

That investigation was launched after a routine search of a boy's room at the Adair Juvenile Detention Center turned up "letters and explicit material" which had allegedly been sent to the minor by a teacher at the facility, according to the KSP.

Detectives now believe that the teacher who sent the material is Bardin, who at the time taught at the detention center.

The KSP alleges that in addition to soliciting the male juvenile to kill her husband, evidence "also revealed that Ms. Bardin had subjected the juvenile to illegal sexual contact and provided him with sexually explicit images of herself."

It's been done before and just as badly, didn't turn out so well for Pam Smart either.

A former teacher was sentenced to a total of 14 years in prison on Thursday after a jury convicted her of sex crimes involving an incarcerated minor.

In September, 27-year-old Elena Bardin was convicted of one count each of first-degree sexual abuse, unlawful transaction with a minor and distribution of obscene material to a minor.

The jury recommended that she be sentenced to a total of 14 years in prison. The judge ultimately agreed with the jury and sentenced Bardin to four years in prison for first-degree sexual abuse and 10 years for unlawful transaction with a minor, to be served consecutively. Additionally, Bardin was given 12 months for distribution of obscene material to a minor, to be served concurrently, and she must register as a sex offender for 20 years.

Prosecutors accused Bardin of having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old student at a juvenile detention center, where she was an English teacher. Bardin was also accused of soliciting the minor to kill her husband, but the jury acquitted her on that charge.

The juvenile victim testified at trial that he never intended to act on Bardin’s comments about having her husband killed, and that their relationship was just a “way to kill time while he was locked up,” reported the Lexington Herald-Leader.
