Sex Teacher Sentenced

Sharon Rutherford admitted to having sex with some of her students at Coffeeville High School.. just not the underage ones!

In October, she was convicted of enticing two students for sex under the age of 16.

For that conviction, she will serve 3 years in prison and 5 years probation. She must also pay a fine and stay away from the students involved.

Cedric Cummings is one of Rutherford's former students. He's now 21 and explained why their affair ended. "We were going together or whatever. Then after a long period of time she wanted me to kill her husband. I didn't wanna murder the man or nothing like that. I didn't wanna kill nobody so we just separated after that. Then, she got with 8 more of my friends."

Rutherford is facing more time for reportedly trying to get a student to kill her husband. The solicitation for murder charge is expected to be settled in March.

An appeal has already been filed in the case so the former teacher is out on bond.

Rutherford's husband has filed for divorce and lives in East Alabama. He has joint custody of their two daughters.
