Shannon Cardinal, the 43-year-old former Wisconsin high school teacher, has pleaded not guilty at her arraignment last Friday.
The former Wisconsin teacher accused of having sex with a Marion teenage boy pleaded not guilty to six counts of sexual assault of a student and six counts of child enticement on Friday. She also waved her right to a preliminary hearing.

The relationship allegedly began when he was 16-years-old and attended Mayville High School in Mayville, WI. She later made trips to the Marion boy's home, according to police documents, after he had moved from Wisconsin earlier this year. If convicted on all counts of each charge, she can receive up to 186 years in prison.

Does the punishment fit the alleged crime?
In April, a Wisconsin teacher was arrested for allegedly having sex with an underage former student, who now lives in Marion. The male student, now 17, was 16 at the time the alleged affair began.

So, what do you think? Does 186 years in prison fit the alleged crime? Tell us your answers in this poll. And we'd love to hear your reasoning in the comments section.
