SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — A former Hardee’s restaurant trainer from Wisconsin accused of having sex with a 15-year-old trainee in Sioux Falls has been sentenced to five years in prison.
KELO television reports that 37-year-old Shannon Manninger was sentenced Friday.
Manninger was arrested in March and pleaded guilty in June to one count of fourth degree rape.
Authorities allege that Manninger once posed as the girl’s father so she could be released from school and the two could have sex in a hotel room.
