Laura Whitehurst, a former English teacher and soccer coach at Redlands High School, pleaded guilty to unlawful sex with three former students.
A Southern California school district will pay $2.25 million to settle the latest lawsuit involving a teacher who became pregnant by one of at least two students she was accused of sexually abusing. The settlement brings to $8.25 million the amount paid by Redlands Unified School District to Laura Whitehurst’s victims since her 2013 arrest, the Southern California News Group reported Sunday. In August 2016, the district agreed to pay $6 million to a former student who impregnated Whitehust while she was his teacher.
The latest lawsuit was filed in 2021 by another former student who alleged he was preyed upon and sexually abused at Redlands High School by Whitehurst in 2007 and 2008 when he was 14, according to the plaintiff’s attorney, Morgan Stewart. Whitehurst admitted to police in 2013 she had sex with the youth 10 to 15 times in her classroom and at her apartment, a police report stated.

My hubby…”so they get laid and paid?”
Yeah he’s an old school guy…. My sweet baboo.
The kids deserve every penny if they slept with that
Does she get child support based upon their getting the payment?
She looks like a fox in her earlier photos.
The student and Whitehurst share custody of their daughter.
The student had told a court that he had been left traumatised by Whitehurst claiming she loved him and wanted to spend the rest of her life with him.
She reportedly gave him a bible at age 17 and would take him to church on weekends.
Whitehurst was jailed just two months after giving birth to the baby girl and served six months of a year-long sentence after a plea deal.
Michael Cooper, now 23, approached news media to share a story of his junior year in high school, in 2007. Though he said he did not feel victimized, Cooper hoped his account would encourage other potential victims to come forward.
Cooper said he had a physical relationship with Laura Elizabeth Whitehurst, pictured in a 2013 yearbook photo below, who herself was 23 at the time of the affair he described.
"I didn't feel like a victim; I'm not scarred for life or anything,” Cooper told NBC4. “To be honest, I had a good time when it was going on."
Whitehurst is accused of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor, and authorities said Tuesday that she gave birth last month to a baby fathered by the alleged victim. A teacher at Citrus Valley High School in Redlands, Whitehurst was arrested Monday, Redlands police said Tuesday.
Those horn dog students weren’t banging what you see there. Bracelets, prison jumpsuit, no future, a hangdog look, no shampoo, and no makeup will make you look like that. I bet she’d look pretty good all dolled up.
What it had been a guy?
Quite a racket, and isn’t it?
Probably a coal burner.
There is no clear and responsible vetting process with teacher hires
I think if you put makeup and a smile on her, she would be not guilty.
Follow the money.
kid should have used a condom- he’s lucky he only got a baby.
10 years ago she might have been better looking. She did all this in 2013.
“In August 2016, the district agreed to pay $6 million to a former student who impregnated Whitehust while she was his teacher.”
Wut?
That was my first thought, too.
Kindred souls.
