A s£x-crazed English teacher who was impregnated by one her students is facing a new lawsuit from another alleged victim.
Laura Whitehurst who served a jail term for s£xually abusing a minor is being accused by another unnamed victim, who was 16 at the time, in 2007.
Whitehurst was teaching at Redlands High School in California at the time.
According to Mercury News, the fresh lawsuit, filed last month, alleges sexual battery, negligent hiring, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
It would be recalled that Whitehurst made headlines in 2013 when she was arrested and charged with 41 counts of s£x and oral copulation with a minor.
She had given birth that June to a daughter fathered by her student at nearby Citrus Valley High School.
Police records show that complaints about her molesting minors dated back to 2006 and continued to 2013, but nothing was done about it.
Reports indicated that she invited male students between the ages of 14 and 18 into her classroom, where they would engage in s£xual discussions.
She would then bring in the boys into the classroom and home for s£xual intercourse.
Morgan Stewart, a partner with Manly, Stewart & Finaldi, who filed the suit, said: ‘There is a good reason why Redlands Unified School District is the national poster child for sexual abuse of students.’
‘More than 20 teachers and administrators in RUSD have been accused of inappropriate sexual behavior with their students over the last ten years.
‘The district has spent millions on civil lawsuit settlements, and two students have committed suicide.’
In the fresh suit, former Redlands Principal Christina Rivera and the school district are co-defendants with Whitehurst.
The former student who impregnated Whitehurst later sued her and the Redlands District in 2014, receiving a $6 million settlement.
The student claimed he was stalked by Whitehurst prior to their relationship and that she told him she could not get pregnant. There is a no-contact order between them.
He alleged that Redlands Unified officials knew of his relationship with the teacher and failed to warn his family.
In 2023, the school district also agreed to pay $2.25 million to settle another suit with another student she allegedly preyed upon and abused at Redlands High.
Whitehurst admitted to police in 2013 that she had sex with the youth 10 to 15 times in her classroom and at her apartment, a police report stated.
She told investigators she and the father of her child began having sex at her apartment after a Disneyland trip in 2012.
