Twin Cities woman accused of sexually assaulting teenage hockey player gets plea deal

ST. PAUL, Minn. — A Blaine woman accused of sexually abusing two teenage hockey players agreed to a plea deal Friday, according to court records.

Allison SchardinThe 38-year-old was charged in Ramsey County with third- and fourth-degree sexual conduct in connection with the alleged January assault in a Roseville hotel room. She pleaded not guilty in Maybut on Friday she changed her plea to guilty on the third-degree charge. The fourth-degree charge is dismissed, court records state.

Schardin is scheduled to be sentenced on January 10th.

The young hockey players are from Colorado and were in Minnesota for a tournament, according to court documents.

The victims say Schardin joined them in the hotel's hot tub, where she allegedly told them she was having marital problems with her husband, who she said was abusive. The victims say she also confided in them that she recently cheated on her husband with a college-age hockey player.

The complaint states that her husband once came into the pool room and asked her to return to her room or their “relationship was over.”

One of the victims said Schardin later texted him and asked if she could come to his room because her husband was abusive, which led to her allegedly abusing the boys.

In the days following the alleged assaults, Schardin is accused of sending a text message to one of the victims asking him not to tell the police or report the incident.

She was arrested weeks later. Police said she waived her Miranda rights, spoke openly with investigators and admitted to the sexual contact.
