Los Angeles School District Argued 14-Year-Old Could Consent To Sex With Teacher (Wins)

Attorneys for the Los Angeles Unified School District introduced the sexual history of a 14-year-old into evidence during a civil trial last year and argued that she was able to consent to sex with a teacher twice her age.

The shocking details of the case were uncovered by Southern California’s KPCC as it was investigating another civil case pending against the school district involving a teacher that had molested dozens of students.

After Elkis Hermida, a 28-year-old math teacher at Thomas Edison Middle School, was convicted of lewd acts with a child in July 2011 and sentenced to three years in prison, the 14-year-old girl’s family filed a lawsuit against the school district for negligence.

But attorneys vigorously denied that the school district had any knowledge of the activity. And to make their case, they argued not only that the girl could consent to sex with an adult, but they also cited her sexual history as evidence.

“She lied to her mother so she could have sex with her teacher,” Keith Wyatt, the school district’s attorney said in an interview with KPCC. “She went to a motel in which she engaged in voluntary consensual sex with her teacher. Why shouldn’t she be responsible for that?”

This is going to mess with the campus femnazis’ heads. There, if a drunk young boy takes advantage of an entirely voluntarily drunk young girl, it’s rape.

Anyway, teachers and students should draw the line.

No it won’t. Once it becomes pedophilia, the’re happy with it.

The teacher was sent to prison. I don’t think it would be good to give the girl money for this though or you could create an incentive for other teens in the future.

This should give parents a whole lot of confidence about sending their kids to public school.

Good point.

During the trial, Wyatt criticized the girl claiming the she was suing in order to get paid.
“She wants to be paid for doing something that she knew was wrong, that she acknowledged was wrong, that she knew was from the beginning,” Wyatt argued, according to KPCC.
“She doesn’t want therapy, she wants money. That’s what they are asking you for.”

No that this should get the district off the hook completely but I'd wager that the above statement is 100% true.

The teacher went to jail (like he should have) but if was a homosexual man and a 14 year old boy the loony left would be making into an after school special celebrating tolerance.

LAUSD/CPUSA No difference.

Although school districts have made settlements with families for much less severe acts.

If she's able to consent to a surgical procedure called abortion at 14 she's able to consent to sex at 14.

I don't agree with either. But the school's hypocrisy is ...well, not surprising in the least.
