A former student who impregnated a California high-school teacher received a $6 million settlement from the school district Friday， the Los Angeles Times reports。 The victim’s attorney， Vince Finaldi， says it’s the largest child sexual abuse settlement against a public entity in US history， reports the Redlands Daily Facts。 “That number didn’t get there by accident，” Finaldi says。 He says that the Redlands Unified School District knew that Laura Whitehurst was sexually abusing students and did nothing about it and thus the district had no choice but to settle。 A spokesperson for the district denies it knew anything about the abuse and says the district wanted to avoid further costly legal battles， KABC reports。


　　周五据《洛杉矶时报》报道称，之前遭遇加州高中教师性侵的男学生获得学区赔偿600万美元（约人民币4，000万元）。《雷德兰德日报》报道到受害人的律师文斯。费纳迪称这是美国历史上官方赔偿数额最大的儿童性侵和解金。“该数额之大并非偶然，”费纳迪如是说。他认为雷兰联合学区明知劳拉。怀荷丝特性侵学生却并未理会，因此该校区别无选择只能和解。校区发言人否认校方知道此事，校区只是想避免进一步昂贵的法律诉讼费，KABC报道称。




　　Whitehurst was arrested in July 2013 and convicted of having sexual relationships with the victim， who was 17 at the time， and two other students。 She served six months in jail and now shares custody of her child with the victim， who says Whitehurst used religion to keep him quiet and in the relationship。 The school district says the $6 million settlement will not affect its budget for teachers and other educational expenses。 “We hope that this tragic and unfortunate episode will now be behind us，” the district spokesperson tells the Daily Facts。


　　怀荷丝特于2013年7月被捕，被控与受害者发生性关系，当时受害者年仅17岁，另外还有两名学生遭到性侵。她在监狱中服役半年，如今与受害者共同享有孩子的监护权，受害人说怀荷丝特用宗教使他保持沉默并维持这段关系。校区称600万美元的和解费不会影响教师及其他教育支出的预算。“我们希望这件悲惨且不幸的事情不会再对我们产生影响，”校区发言人告诉《雷德兰德日报》。
