Former KCSD employee sentenced to prison after sending explicit videos to a student

From Pennlive

LOCK HAVEN — A former Keystone Central School District teacher’s aide who admitted sending sexually explicit videos and messages to a male middle school student has received a state prison term.

Brittany Kay Koch, 30, of Beech Creek, was sentenced Tuesday by Clinton County Judge Craig Miller to 18 to 48 months followed by three years of probation. She also must register as a sex offender for 15 years.

Co-defendant, Dana Ann Kitchen of Lock Haven was sentenced in February to 27 months to 6 years, followed by two years’ probation. She must register as a sex offender for 25 years. Koch’s sentencing was delayed because she was pregnant.

Koch admitted sending via a social media site nude photos and videos of her engaging in sex acts to a boy then 14 in late 2023.

Koch and Kitchen pleaded guilty last November to charges of corruption of minors and unlawful contact with a minor. Kitchen’s charges list two victims while Koch’s just one.

The family of one of the victims sent a letter to the judge in advance of Kitchen’s sentencing in which they called the two women “villainous adults” and said it had been a “very emotional, stressful and financial struggle” for them.

The charges against Kitchen and Koch were the result of a Mill Hall police investigation launched following a ChildLine report.
