Shannon Griffin, 49, a kindergarten teacher from Illinois, has been charged with criminal sexual assault, soliciting child pornography, distribution of harmful materials and grooming

A kindergarten teacher at a Chicago-area Christian private school has been arrested after law enforcement officials say she sexually assaulted a student, and repeatedly sent nude photos to two boys over the span of six years.

Shannon Griffin, 49, of Oak Lawn, is a teacher at Jordan Baptist School in Burbank and is married to Pastor Thomas Griffin.

She was arrested on Monday following a month-long investigation, and was booked into jail on five counts of criminal sexual assault, one count of soliciting child pornography, one count of distribution of harmful materials and one count of grooming.

The Cook County Sheriff's Office alleges Griffin 'engaged in sexual conduct' with a boy enrolled at the school beginning when he was 15 years old in 2013.

Patch Oak Lawn reported that the pastor's wife repeatedly had sex with the teen in her minivan parked in an industrial area in exchange for alcohol, according to law enforcement officials.

Griffin also is charged with sending naked pictures and videos of herself to that boy and a 17-year-old boy at the school via Snapchat. She allegedly asked them to send her images of themselves.

Griffin's alleged conduct began in 2013 and continued until March 2019.

Illinois Department of Children and Family Services spokesman Jassen Strokosch says the agency also is investigating 'multiple allegations of abuse' involving Griffin and students.

Jordan Baptist School's website lists 'Mrs Shannon Griffin' as a kindergarten teacher. She is said to be a mother of three.

Mike Mollo, whose two children until recently had attended the school, and whose family belonged to Pastor Griffin's congregation, told CBS Chicago his son came to him saying that pornographic photos and videos of the kindergarten teacher began circulating among the students.

'The second I saw that video, the very next day, I pulled my kids out at school, and we stopped going to church there immediately,' he said.

Mollo said he contacted the police and confronted the pastor about the videos.

'I called the pastor, and I said, "You better get in front of this. All these kids are passing videos around of your wife." And he said, "It’s not my wife. It’s not her. We’re just going to pray about it. Let the lord take care of it,"' the angry parent said.

Griffin on Wednesday appeared in court and had her bond set at $750,000.
