REDLANDS, Calif. (AP) — A Southern California school district will pay $2.25 million to settle the latest lawsuit involving a teacher who became pregnant by one of at least two students she was accused of sexually abusing.
The settlement brings to $8.25 million the amount paid by Redlands Unified School District to Laura Whitehurst’s victims since her 2013 arrest, the Southern California News Group reported Sunday.
In August 2016, the district agreed to pay $6 million to a former student who impregnated Whitehust while she was his teacher.
Redlands Unified spokesperson Christine Stephens said Friday that the district was aware of the recent settlement, but could not comment due to confidentiality agreements.
Whitehurst, who taught English and was a soccer coach, pleaded guilty to unlawful sex with three former students.
