Glamorous Minnesota mom, 39, gets light sentence for sexually assaulting underage boys after meeting in hotel hot tub

A married Minnesota mother of two received a light sentence after admitting to sexually assaulting two underage boys she met in a hotel hot tub.

Allison Schardin, 39, was ordered to spend two weekends in jail after pleading guilty in October to third-degree criminal sexual conduct for assaulting a pair of 15-year-old Colorado hockey players at a suburban hotel of Minneapolis.

Schardin committed the crime on January 14, 2024, while on holiday at the hotel with her husband and two children, then aged 8 and 12.

Ramsey County District Court Judge Joy Bartscher gave Schardin credit for time served for the five days she spent in jail after her arrest in February 2024. Star Tribune reported.

Bartscher also ordered her to perform 200 hours of community service and undergo court-ordered mental health treatment.

She will no longer be allowed to have unsupervised contact with juvenile boys and will have to register as a sex offender within the next ten years.

Schardin faced a prison sentence of up to eight months.

The victims were part of a youth hockey team from Colorado that was in Minnesota for a game and staying at a hotel in Roseville, a suburb of Minneapolis.

According to the allegations, Schardin initially met the teens in the hotel hot tub and said she was having problems in her marriage.

She claimed her husband was abusive and confided to the boys that she had recently cheated on him with a middle-aged hockey player. CBS reported.

The complaint stated that her husband eventually came to the hot tub and told her to return to their room or their “relationship was over.”

After the teens went back to their rooms, Schardin contacted one of the boys via Snapchat asking if she could stay in one of their rooms because she had been fighting with her husband.

When she got to their room, she asked the boys how old they were and said they were young enough to be her children, according to the complaint.

Eventually she started talking about “sex and stuff” before asking the boys how sexually active they were.

She then got into bed with two of the boys and sexually assaulted them while a third boy watched, the complaint said.

After her arrest, Schardin admitted to having sexual contact with the two teens and asked for a condom, but “claimed she would not go through with it.”

Prosecutors argued for the maximum sentence because they said she was actively seeking sex with the boys.

‘The suspect’s behavior was not a temporary error of judgement. It was clearly planned. Why else would an adult exchange contact details with young people she just met at a hotel and then go to their room later?’ Prosecutors wrote in the file prior to the sentencing.

The petition urged the court “to consider the suspect’s conduct as no less serious than if the suspect were a man and the victims were girls.” If the genders were reversed, few would believe that leniency is appropriate.”

Prosecutors also detailed the damage done to Schardin’s teenage victims after the attack.

“They have lost friends and have had to deal with whispers and harmful comments from others, as if they were the perpetrators,” prosecutors wrote.

‘Both victims were initially suspended from their hockey teams but were later reinstated after explaining what had happened. That victory was short-lived, however, as team officials subsequently decided to cancel the remainder of the season.’

Schardin, who worked as a waitress at a local restaurant, had described herself on her social media profiles as “a wife, seeker of truth, boy mom, singer and foodie.”

Her Facebook page featured an old photo of her smiling next to her sons in photos shared shortly after the assault.

Additional photos showed Schardin and her husband smiling with their children at church.
