In 2017, Christy Sampson-Kelly was hired as the principal at Travis Hill School, New Orleans’ school for incarcerated youth, based on a sparkling resume that featured a Ph.D. and national acclaim in the field of special education.

Now Sampson-Kelly is known for her arrest in November on a warrant accusing her engaging in more than 700 “extremely sexual and explicit” phone calls with a 17-year-old inmate, according to report by an investigator with the Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office.

WWL television obtained partial transcripts of some of the conversations, most of which are too explicit to publish but can be described as sexually intimate and, at times, romantic.

In one segment, the juvenile describes an act of oral sex that he would like Sampson-Kelly to perform on him. She agrees to do so, according to the transcripts.

In another section, the juvenile says, “I want to hear your sexy voice.” She replies that she wants a part of his anatomy that is too graphic to repeat here.

“When I heard what happened, I was furious, devastated, hurt, angry,” the inmate’s mother said. “She took advantage of my child.”
