Former California high school student wins $6m settlement after impregnating older English teacher
A 21
year old former student at Citrus Valley High School in Redlands,
California who impregnated his teacher (pictured above), has received $6
million from his school district, the largest single-victim sex abuse
settlements ever from a public agency.
The boy who was 16 when
the incident occurred, received the large sum on Friday, three years after the arrest of his former teacher and lover,
Laura Whitehurst and as at the time he was having a sexual relationship with
his female teacher Laura, he was under 18 years.
According to the former student, he felt
manipulated and used by Laura while he was in school, as he started having sex
with her at the age of 16 in her apartment, before she gave birth to their
child in June 2013 — while he was still in school
Whitehurst, a former AP
English teacher, was slapped with 41 felony sex assault charges for her
relationship with this student and two others, all of whom were under 18 at the
time.
Laura Whitehurst, 29, is now a registered sex
offender. During the court trial, the student’s attorneys accused the school of
ignoring warning signs about the relationship.
Laura and the student
(names withheld) now shares custody of the child with her former student.
