<p>A former high school student who fathered a child with his teacher in Southern California will reportedly get a large settlement from the school district for the sexual abuse.</p>
<div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">The unidentified student, now 21, will receive $6 million.from the Redlands Unified School District. Redlands officials placed all the blame on the teacher Laura Whitehurst and admitted no fault by settling the suit.</p>
</div>
<p>District spokesman Tom DeLapp said of the settlement: &#8216;In the long run, $6 million is high, but it could have been much higher if this had been left to an empathetic jury in another city looking past the facts to find a financial scapegoat for the unprofessional, criminal actions of one individual.&#8217;</p>

<strong>In 2014 Whitehurst, a former AP English teacher in Redlands, was charged with 41 felony counts of unlawful relations wit her students. She pled guilty to six counts of unlawful sex with three minors. She has a baby by one of the boys</strong></h6>
<div class="mol-img-group floatRHS">
<p class="mol-para-with-font">The suit was brought against the school district the following year after the student&#8217;s lawyer, Vince Finaldi, claimed the district &#8216;turned a blind eye&#8217; to the improper conduct.<br />
&#8216;The size of this settlement represents the gravity of the damage done to this young victim and his family and it also highlights the extreme malfeasance and neglect by school officials who turned a blind eye to the criminal conduct of a teacher and failed to protect a student,&#8217; Finaldi said.<br />

<p>The suit claimed that the district failed to inform the student&#8217;s parents after there was reason to believe sexual abuse was taking place.<br />
Sexual contact between Whitehurst and the student began in 2012 when the boy was 16.<br />
