## Resource

Jim Chapman brings you the first arrest under Kentucky’s new grooming law, focusing on Graves County Middle School teacher Sadie Flores and police allegations that she had inappropriate, secretive communication with a 14-year-old student. We also review the charge under the felony portion of the law and what led to her charges. We also look back at the case involving former Anderson County High School band director Patrick Howard Brady, whose alleged conduct helped lead to the law and who later pleaded guilty in state and federal court and end with a brief update on the Nolan Wells case and the dispute over phone access and forensic review.
