REDLANDS, Calif. (AP) A Southern California school district has agreed to pay $11 million to settle a lawsuit filed by seven victims and alleged victims of a former middle school teacher who is serving a 74-year prison sentence for sexual abuse.
An attorney representing several students sexually abused by teachers told
The Kyle Olson Show this week that the Redlands Unified School District in Redlands, California has the dubious distinction of allegedly having the most perpetrators per student in the state.
Attorney Morgan Stewart, who is representing several of the survivors
, alleged Redlands has employed over 20 teachers or administrators who have abused students in a district that has about 21,000 enrolled.
Stewart’s clients, seven students now in their early 30s who were abused by Sean Ramiro Lopez when they were 12-14 years old, are suing the district for its alleged “dereliction of duty.”
