Two students claim to have told Redlands High administrators of being fondled and sexually harassed by former special-education teacher Kevin Kirkland, but an attorney says the allegations were never reported to police.

Perry Davis, a 9-year employee of Redlands Unified, accuses district officials of retaliating against him.

Warning signs seemed to be everywhere about teacher Laura Whitehurst's sexual encounters with students, but Redlands school officials were waiting for proof before alerting authorities.

Former student, now 27, claims a failure by staff to take proper action allowed sexual abuse to continue for months.
