A married Missouri teacher has been charged with sending a 16-year-old boy explicit videos of her pleasuring herself and inviting him to her home for sex while her husband was out of town, court papers allege.

The Maries County Sheriff's Office launched an investigation into Rikki Laughlin, 25, who works as a special education teacher at a school district in St. James, which is about 100 miles west of St. Louis, after someone called in a tip about an inappropriate relationship, according to a probable cause affidavit. 

Det. Dale Harp met with the student on Oct. 20, and the teen allegedly described how Laughlin pursued him and tried to seduce him. 

Laughlin had reached out to him on Snapchat and "things progressed fast," he told Harp. "They even kissed while in the classroom of the school," the teen added.

She requested nude photos, and he allegedly complied on two occasions. He said she had sent him graphic photos and videos of her engaged in sex acts, the affidavit says. 

She allegedly invited the boy to her home on Oct. 14 for intercourse because her husband was away. "[The student] made several excuses for not meeting with Laughlin because he did not feel comfortable," according to the document. 

Rumors began swirling at the small school, and Laughlin allegedly instructed the teen to delete the pornographic material. 

"[The student] did tell me that one of the conversations Laughlin, and he had was Laughlin telling him she could get jail time for what she was doing," the affidavit says.

The boy still had one photo of Laughlin exposing her breast and turned it over to the detective. On the same day, Harp interviewed Laughlin at her home, where she lives with her infant daughter and husband. 

She allegedly admitted she had communicated with the student on Snapchat but claimed he had initiated contact, and she had "shut the issue down many times."

After the detective told her that he was aware she had sent explicit photos and videos to the teen, she came up with a new defense.

"I was not aware he was a minor until yesterday," she allegedly claimed. When Harp told her that sending or receiving "naked photos of children is illegal," she asked to speak to a lawyer.

Detectives allegedly found the pornographic videos on her cellphone. Laughlin is charged with possession of child pornography, two counts of tampering, attempted statutory rape, sexual exploitation of a minor, sex trafficking a child and furnishing pornographic materials to a minor, according to a criminal complaint.

She was released on a $100,000 bond, according to court records. Her attorney, Timothy Cisar, declined to comment. 

School District Superintendent Tim Webster said Laughlin, who taught juniors at the high school, has been placed on leave, according to a local report. 

"The District takes these matters seriously and reported allegations to appropriate outside agencies, including law enforcement," he said. "We have been actively cooperating with these agencies since the initial report."

What is… "embarrassing?"

A "Jeopardy!" category during Thursday night’s episode left contestants scratching their heads as many players drew a blank.

"Jeopardy!" contestants proved they were not the biggest sports fans when attempting to guess the clues for the category "Hall of Famer by Position."

The first $400 clue simply listed two names, "Joe Namath and Joe Montana."

Although the player Mason correctly guessed, "What is quarterback?" he did not appear to answer with confidence and laughed at the end. 

For the next few clues, the players failed to answer and were silent for the remaining sports questions. 

After co-host and former champion Ken Jennings read the $800 clue, "Bill Walton and Bill Russell," the buzzer went off as the contestants continued to be stumped.

"This might be a long category," Jennings teased, as laughter was heard in the audience.

Another category read, "Jerry Rice, Randy Moss and John Stallworth," which again nobody buzzed in for the receivers.

Jennings proceeded to give the "Jeopardy!" contestants a few words of encouragement, "Hey sports fans, I believe in you."

The last clue on the game board read, "Gump Worsley, Shrimp Worters and Rat Westwick," which the contestants joined in on the audience's laughter.

"It just sounds like I’m making people up, these are hockey goalies — ice hockey goalies," Jennings confirmed.

Viewers at home were not too pleased with the lack of sports knowledge from the "Jeopardy!" contestants either. 

"That was painful to watch," one comment read on X. 

Another viewer wrote, "That's just sad and embarrassing."

"Ooof that sports category had me yelling at the TV," other fans wrote on Reddit.

Despite the sports category fail, contestant Yoshie came out on top during Final Jeopardy taking home a grand prize of $11,200 for her correct answers.

This was not the first time fans have been critical over a "Jeopardy!" clue they called "way too easy."

Earlier this month, during a Final Jeopardy round, a category "Word Origins" had the clue, "Though it meant ‘seasickness’ in Latin, this 6-letter word now refers to a more general feeling of sickness."

As the player in last place at the time, Valerie offered her answer first — she gave the right response, which was "nausea."

Host Ken Jennings told her, "That's correct, it's the same root you see in words like ‘nautical,’ meaning ‘ships.’"

However, the camera panned over to another contestant named Steve, who grimaced as it was revealed that he had answered "malaise."

Jennings teased the contestant who answered incorrectly.

"Oh, no. He might be coming up with nausea right now," Jennings quipped.
