A conviction on the sex abuse charge could put the the Morton, Illinois, teacher away for seven years.

Or, if the judge is more lenient with Kemp, she could get off with just probation.

Kemp was a business teacher at Morton High School in Illinois before her downfall following sex-abuse charges, Patch reports.

She resigned from her post in September, shortly after the scandal broke.

Erin Kemp, 37, of Morton, resigned Thursday, and district representatives reported the matter to the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services, according to a release issued Monday by Morton Community Unit School District 709 Superintendent Jeff Hill.

Hill’s statement did not clarify any details about the exact nature of the sex abuse allegedly committed by the Morton, Illinois, teacher.

Kemp first began working as a teacher in the Morton, Illinois, school district in 2007 — a career soon destroyed by the sex abuse allegations.

During the last school year, she received about $70,000 in salary and benefits. 

The Journal Star was able to learn that Kemp told school officials that she kissed the student in question and touched him in an inappropriate way.

Kemp told school officials that she had kissed and “inappropriately touched” the student, who was under age 18, but denied any touching that would be considered sexual in nature, the affidavit stated.

When questioned by the Morton, Illinois, school officials, the student ultimately disclosed that the teacher had sexually preyed upon him.

The student permitted a forensic download of his phone.

There, investigators found sexualized text messages between the Morton, Illinois, teacher and her student.

Kemp expressed numerous romantic fantasies about herself and the child as well as worries that the boy would leave her in the dust in the end, Week.com reports.

Some of those messages included Kemp telling the student that she loved him and wanted to spend an entire day alone with him, along with expressing concern that he would “move on” from her. Kemp is due back in court December 28.
