 A former art teacher at Golden Meadow Middle School, Ralph Cherami, has been sentenced to 40 years in prison after he was convicted of sexual battery molestation and indecent behavior with a former student. Prosecutor Jason Chatagnier says the victim initially reported the incident to school administrators, but an internal investigation yielded little action. He says the victim now, as an adult, decided to come forward again, this time reporting the incident to law enforcement, which led to a conviction.
