Former educator guilty on 8 counts


A former Englewood assistant schools superintendent was convicted on Tuesday of using his position to sexually abuse two students. He could face up to 20 years in prison when sentenced. The courtroom scene was very dramatic as the jury foreman read the verdicts.


Jurors convicted a former Englewood assistant schools superintendent Tuesday of using his position to sexually abuse two students.

Although the Superior Court jury acquitted Roy Hermalyn of nearly two dozen sex charges, they found him guilty of inappropriately touching one student, endangering another and committing official misconduct in both instances.

The convictions are enough to put Hermalyn behind bars for up to 20 years when he is sentenced March 14. He is also subject to registration as a sex offender under Megan's Law. Story by Record reporter Kibret Markos.
