Subject: Cheryl Sudweeks, Owner of Whitmore Academy
ISAC has learned that Cheryl Sudweeks, owner of Whitmore Academy in Utah, has been offered a plea deal by Juab County Attorney, Jared Eldridge.
Sudweeks is scheduled to stand trial next month on 7 counts of child abuse and hazing. Child welfare investigators said they substantiated eight instances of physical abuse, educational neglect, medical neglect and environmental neglect.
According to the plea deal, Cheryl Sudweeks will only have to:
1) Obey all laws.
2) Write a letter to Eldridge stating she attempted to haze 4 students and will not open another program in Juab County.
3) Pay any damages awarded in the current civil case against Sudweeks and Whitmore Academy.
4) Stay away from any program or school dealing with teenagers.
After one year her record will be expunged.
It is exactly THIS kind of lax "prosecution" that allows abusive program owners to simply relocate and carry on with business as usual.
ISAC encourages everyone to contact Jared Eldridge and Judge Lynn Davis and voice your outrage to this ridiculous bargain that would allow a confessed child abuser to have no criminal record at all.

What a bunch of crap:
Attempted hazing?
Since when is throwing a child down a flight of stairs anything except criminal child abuse?
And that is just one example of what this woman did to one of the victims in this case.
Hope everyone here on Fornits will take a stand, and let this prosecutor and judge hear from people.

And she would have the whole thing wiped clean after one year! That is outrageous. !0 years maybe. Assuming she kept her nose clean and got therapy.

"Obey the laws"
That's a good one.
Aren't all citizens expected to OBEY THE LAWS?

You've got to be fucking kidding me.
Does this remind anyone else of the joke trials that would happen when racists in the Deep South would commit crimes against blacks?
