Attorney General Coleman Secures Prison Time for Former Magoffin County Middle School Teacher

FRANKFORT, Ky. (March 19, 2026) – Attorney General Russell Coleman announced today action from the Attorney General’s Special Prosecutions Unit will send a former Magoffin County Middle School teacher to prison.

On Thursday, Jordan Cobb, 32, pleaded guilty to one count of Procuring the Use of Minor by Electronic Means (Class D Felony) and one count of Harassing Communications (Class B Misdemeanor).

According to charges filed in Magoffin Circuit Court, in May 2023, Cobb used Snapchat to communicate with a 14-year-old student. He sent pictures of his genitalia and messages to the student, encouraging her to have sexual intercourse with him. A year later, he sent threatening messages to the same victim through Facebook.

Under the terms of Thursday’s plea agreement, Cobb agreed to a five-year sentence and will be ineligible for probation. The sentence will run concurrent with federal charges related to the same investigation.

“It takes extraordinary courage for a young person to speak out—especially when it means standing up to someone in power. I commend this brave young woman and our law enforcement and prosecutor partners who worked to ensure this predator is behind bars,” said Attorney General Coleman.

Kentucky State Police investigated the case. Assistant Attorney General Ramsey Dallam prosecuted the case on behalf of the Commonwealth.

Cobb will be sentenced June 5th.
