Delaware teacher accused of sending explicit photos to student over Snapchat: police – MASHAHER


NEW CASTLE, De.A Delaware teacher has been accused of sending explicit photos of herself to a student over Snapchat, authorities said Friday.

Alanis Pinion, an 8th-grade teacher at St. Mary Magdalen School in New Castle County, was taken into custody earlier this month.

Investigators say Pinion, 28, communicated with her students over Snapchat and allegedly sent explicit photos to a 14-year-old.

Pinion was charged with sexual solicitation of a child, endangering the welfare of a child, and indecent exposure.

Pinion was taken to Baylor Women’s Correctional Institution after failing to pay $46K bail.

The Catholic Diocese of Wilmington was immediately alerted of the accusations and has fully cooperated with the investigation, police said.

“The Division of Police is concerned that there may be additional victims who have not yet come forward,” police wrote.

In a statement shared with the media, St. Mary Magdalen School did not name Pinion directly, but wrote about the arrest of “a former part-time contract employee.”

“Earlier this week, the school was contacted by the New Castle County Police to notify us of an investigation and ultimately an arrest of a former part time contract employee regarding allegations of an exchange of inappropriate images electronically with a former student,” the school wrote.

“The contractor had successfully completed the required background check process prior to her employment. The school, parish and our Diocese officials supported the police as they conducted their investigation,” the school continued. “Please be assured that all of us at Saint Mary Magdalen Parish and School, along with our partners at the Diocese of Wilmington, always keep the safety of our children and youth as a primary goal.”
