Correction: Cheryl Sudweeks

Cheryl Sudweeks, the former co-owner of the now defunct Whitmore Academy in Nephi, was initially charged in 4th District Court with five misdemeanor counts of child abuse and two misdemeanor counts of hazing in connection with allegations involving four teens at the boarding school. In a plea agreement reached last week with prosecutors, Sudweeks pleaded no contest to four class C misdemeanor counts of hazing, which means all charges will be dismissed in a year if Sudweeks meets court-ordered requirements, including payment of a fee. A Sept. 22 article included incorrect details about the disposition of the case and the number of charges.
