A southern California school district will pay $2.25 million to the victim of a teacher’s sexual abuse – who was impregnated by another student.
The settlement brings the total amount paid by the Redlands Unified School District to victim Laura Whitehurst to $8.25 million since her arrest in 2013, the Southern California News Group reported.
The most recent lawsuit was filed in 2021 by a former Redlands High School student who alleged Whitehurst preyed on her in 2007 and 2008, when she was just 14 years old, according to the plaintiff’s attorney.
Whitehurst later admitted to having sex with her 15 times in San Bernadino’s classroom and in her apartment.
The English teacher and football coach pleaded guilty to unlawful sex with three former students, one of whom shared a baby.
