A jury recommended this afternoon that former teacher Cathy Heminghaus serve two years in prison on three counts of performing sex acts on teenage students at Ferguson Middle School in the fall of 2005.
The jury of nine men and three women also recommended two-year sentences for two counts of a teacher having sex with a student. Jurors further recommended a fine to be set by St. Louis County Circuit Judge Michael T. Jamison on two counts of plying minors with alcohol, both misdemeanors. Jamison set sentencing to Aug. 20. The judge could run the sentences consecutively for a total of 10 years in prison, or concurrently for a minimum of two years or any combination in between.
