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

Jordan Cobb, 32, of Salyersville, pleaded guilty in October to online enticement. As part of the plea agreement, prosecutors dropped a cyberstalking charge.

Court records show Cobb admitted to communicating with a 14-year-old former student in April and May of 2023. During those conversations, Cobb sent sexually explicit messages, offered to provide marijuana, and discussed plans to meet for sex.

Cobb was sentenced Friday in Ashland federal court to 11 years in prison. After sentencing, Cobb was taken into custody immediately following the hearing by the U.S. Marshals Service. Under federal law, Cobb must serve 85 percent of the prison sentence and be under the supervision of the U.S. Probation Office for 10 years following his release.
