Teacher resigns after bonding out of jail

HARTINGTON — A former Hartington teacher is expected to be in court Jan. 22 on five felony child abuse charges.

Bradley Hegemann, 30, was arrested at Cedar Catholic High School just before school started Wednesday.

Hegemann was booked and processed at the Dodge County jail, and a $150,000 bond was set.

The necessary 10 percent, or $15,000, was posted and Hegemann bonded out of jail that same day.

Hegemann resigned from his position as Language Arts teacher at Cedar Catholic Thursday. Cedar Catholic principal Christopher Uttecht said Adam Kuntz is filling in as the substitute teacher for the remainder of the semester, which ends Dec. 21.

The arrest was made by the Cedar County Sheriff’s Office, with officers of the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office and Scribner Police Department assisting.
