King County prosecutors have accused a former Highline School District employee with sending a sexual message to a 16-year-old student, according to court documents.
Jasmine Christina Moore, a 24-year-old former paraeducator for Tyee High School in SeaTac, is charged with communicating with a minor for immoral purposes. She resigned from her position last week after being on leave for roughly four months, according to court documents.
District officials hired an independent investigator after learning in January that the student was “bragging” about having kissed a teacher, later identified as Moore, probable cause documents say.
The student later said in a March interview, his second with the investigator, that he and Moore had sexual contact in her car on school property, according to court documents. That disclosure prompted school officials to contact law enforcement.
But the student walked back that claim in an interview the next month, saying they kissed but did not have sexual contact, documents say. In a separate interview with a King County Sheriff’s Office detective, the student said he and Moore flirted and had sexual conversations in person and on Snapchat, according to documents.
The independent investigator’s report showed that Moore initially messaged a school administrator on Dec. 12, 2021, over rumors about her having sexual contact with the student.
