Female teacher who gave birth to student's baby is facing new lawsuit from another victim

Friday, May 23, 2025 - A s£x-crazed English teacher who got pregnant by one of the students she s£xually abused is now facing a new lawsuit from another alleged victim.

Laura Whitehurst is accused of s£xually abusing the unnamed victim, who was 16 at the time, in 2007 while teaching at Redlands High School in California. 

The suit, filed last month and seen by Mercury News, alleges sexual battery, negligent hiring, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. 

Whitehurst made headlines in 2013 when she was arrested and charged with 41 counts of s£x and oral copulation with a minor. 

The former educator had given birth that June to a daughter fathered by her one of her students at nearby Citrus Valley High School.

Police reports indicate that complaints about her molesting minors went back to 2006 and continued to 2013, but nothing was done about it, according to the filing.  

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.'

Alongside Whitehurst, former Redlands Principal Christina Rivera and the school district are named as defendants in the civil action, which is seeking damages. 

Whitehurst pleaded guilty to unlawful s£x with three former students and served six months in jail for it. She is a registered s£x offender. 

She is said to have invited male students between the ages of 14 and 18 into her classroom, where they would engage in s£xual discussions. 

Lawsuits filed against her have said that she would engage in s£xual intercourse with students inside the classroom and at her home. 

The former student who fathered a child with her sued Whitehurst 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.

When she was first arrested, he told reporters she was just a 'clean-cut American girl' and was having a hard time being in jail.

She told investigators she and the father of her child began having sex at her apartment after a Disneyland trip in 2012. 

According to Mercury News, an investigation by the Southern California News Group led to the implementation of new policies at the school district. 

The district said in a statement: 'The safety and well-being of every student in Redlands Unified School District is our highest priority.

'We are aware of the recently filed lawsuit regarding a case from 2013 and take these allegations very seriously. 

'While we cannot comment on pending litigation or the specific claims being made, we remain committed to fostering a safe, supportive, and respectful environment for all students.'
