ASHLAND, Ky. — A former Magoffin County middle school teacher has been sentenced on a federal child enticement charge.

Jordan Cobb, 32, of Salyersville, pleaded guilty to a charge of online enticement back in October. In exchange for his plea, prosecutors agreed to drop a cyberstalking charge.

He admitted to engaging in a conversation with a 14-year-old former student in April and May of 2023. During that conversation, Cobb sent the child a series of sexually explicit messages, which included offers to provide the child with marijuana and a plan to meet for sex.

In Ashland federal court on Friday, Cobb was sentenced to 11 years in prison. He was taken into custody by the U.S. Marshals Service immediately after his sentencing.
