A teacher who had sex with a 16 year-old schoolboy sobbed and said she deserved to die for her crime as she was sentenced to 10 years jail.

According to the Brainerd Dispatch, Shannon Moser, 38, told a court Monday that ‘at best she is a hypocrite, at worst she doesn’t deserve to live.’

Apologizing as she was sent to prison, Moser added: ‘I’m vastly ashamed of my simple choices that have hurt so many people.

‘I violated their trust in me as a teacher and a trusted adult in the community.’


Prosecutor Tristan Van De Streek asked for Moser to spend 20 years behind bars, with her defence attorney Scott Brand appealing for a more lenient five years.

Judge Douglas Herman struck a ten year compromise which will see Moser serve the full sentence behind bars, with another five years on probation afterwards.



Moser admitted six felony sex assault charges in August, after being accused of watching ‘MILF’ porn.

The porn – which stands for ‘Mother I’d Like to F***’ – depicting younger men having sex with older women, with Moser subsequently doing the same thing in real life.

She is said to have sent nude photos to the boy on Snapchat in June for several days before meeting him at a park one evening after school.

Moser, of West Fargo, ND, took the boy for a drive in her van, before pulling onto a gravel road and having sex with him.

Afterwards, she told him ‘No-one can know.’ Moser – whose husband is a pastor at River City Church in Fargo – then sent more explicit messages to the boy, and asked him for more sex, only for him to say no.

A second boy says that Moser had also been sexting him for a year from when he was just 14 years old.

That student said she had sent him videos of her having sex with her husband, although he says he did not have any physical contact with Moser

He came forward five days after her arrest on July 11.

Cops say they found URLs of MILF porn websites after seizing her phone during their initial interview.

Personnel records from Liberty Middle School, where Moser began working in fall 2016, include complaints from some students that she was letting kids call her ‘Kim Kardashian.’

Moser was also accused of letting some children away with dress code breaches but not others, and attending a student party last summer.

She is further alleged to have let seventh graders order pizza and eat it in her classroom, despite a school policy insisting that students eat in the lunchroom.

A co-worker who saw Moser playing basketball with an eighth grade boy said:

‘The interactions appeared to be uncomfortable because of the physical nature of the basketball game and their interactions appeared to cross student/teacher boundaries.’

She resigned on July 12 – the day after her first police interview, and has since let her teacher’s licence expire.
