A lawsuit has been filed against Redlands High School, alleging that a former student was sexually abused by teacher Laura Whitehurst beginning in 2007. The suit claims that both school administrators and teachers failed to prevent or report the misconduct, despite having knowledge of earlier allegations about Whitehurst. The allegations include sexual battery and negligent hiring, with the civil complaint naming Whitehurst, former Principal Christina Rivera, and the Redlands Unified School District. The district has responded, emphasizing their commitment to student safety while highlighting the importance of addressing such serious allegations.
The alleged victim claims sexual abuse occurred in 2007 while he was just 16, with warnings to the Redlands Unified School District ignored by officials.
The lawsuit, filed by Manly, Stewart & Finaldi, seeks unspecified damages for failures in protection, with the district stating student safety remains a priority.
