Allison Schardin, a 35‑year‑old mother from Minnesota, was found guilty of sexually assaulting two 15‑year‑old hockey players during a family staycation in January 2024. The assaults took place in a hotel hot tub after the victims were invited there following a heated exchange between the boys' fathers and Schardin.
Schardin exchanged contact information with the teenagers, later sending one of them a Snapchat message asking if she could come to his room. She then pressured both boys into sexual acts while a third boy watched, and continued to text them afterward, pleading that they keep the encounter secret.
After the incident, Schardin tracked the boys to a rink where they were practicing and kept contacting them, begging them not to report what had happened. Her husband, Anthony Schardin, revealed that the couple remains married and is trying to stay out of the public eye despite the scandal.
Legal Repercussions
The court sentenced Allison Schardin to two weekends in jail, mandatory community service and five years of probation. The lenient penalty reflects the unique circumstances presented by the defense while emphasizing close monitoring of her future conduct.
