The former Washington high school teacher first messaged the 17-year-old after finding his Instagram account in June, 2022.
They then went on to send texts, pictures, and videos that were explicit in nature.
After months of texting, McKenna invited the boy to her house while her husband Kyle was away on a hunting trip.

Investigators were told by the teenager that he went to the teacher’s house around 6:30 and 7 p.m. one day in November, 2022, and began making out in the middle of a movie.
It is believed they were physical on the couch for about 10 minutes before moving to McKenna’s bedroom and being intimate until around 10 p.m.
When they “finished,” they “hung out” in the living room and then took a shower, the boy told investigators.
He said he eventually left at around 11:30 p.m.
“Mom glad I can satisfy you,” the teen wrote to her in one message.

After the teacher liked the message, he asked her whether she used an adult toy while fantasizing about him, to which she replied: “I did.”
“U should have video it and save it,” the teen said.
“Hm next time I need to relearn Snapchat haha,” she replied.
“When other girls talk about you in my class I could feel myself getting mad,” McKenna wrote in one text

One text message the teacher sent him said, “I want you to be in my room.”
She wrote, “I really like being touched by you” in another text.
Yet another text suggested she was jealous of other students talking about him.
“When other girls talk about you in my class I could feel myself getting mad,” she texted him.

By December, 2022, the teenager’s friends shared screenshots of the inappropriate texts with the school authorities.
The friends said the teenager became “defensive when they questioned him about the relationship,” according to court records.
Ashley Beckley, the teenager’s mother, also reported the teacher’s actions and said she was aware of the messages McKenna had been sending her son.
She said she came across an explicit video her son sent to the teacher, along with photos of her breasts on his phone.

By March 2024, McKenna was arrested and initially charged with felony first-degree s**ual misconduct and communication with a minor for immoral purposes.
McKenna sobbed in court and pleaded guilty to lesser misdemeanor charges: one count of second-degree s**ual misconduct and one count of communication with a minor for immoral purposes.
“As a result of my actions, I've lost my career, valuable friendships, freedoms and have let down countless people who placed their trust in me,” she told the judge during her sentence hearing.
“I am deeply ashamed of the pain I have caused,” she added.

The convicted teacher completely avoided jail time after the judge ordered her to serve two years of probation, pay $700 in fines, and have herself registered as a s** offender for 10 years.
Even after being busted for her illicit affair, McKenna and Kyle reportedly stayed married and moved to Kuna, Idaho, a few months after she pleaded guilty.
They jointly bought a $498,000 house in Kuna in June 2024, and the husband is believed to be working as a real estate lawyer.
