美國女教師性侵男生懷孕 男生獲賠600萬(雙語)

A former student who impregnated a California high-school teacher received a $6 million settlement from the school district Friday， the Los Angeles Times reports。 The victim』s attorney， Vince Finaldi， says it』s the largest child sexual abuse settlement against a public entity in US history， reports the Redlands Daily Facts。 「That number didn』t get there by accident，」 Finaldi says。 He says that the Redlands Unified School District knew that Laura Whitehurst was sexually abusing students and did nothing about it and thus the district had no choice but to settle。 A spokesperson for the district denies it knew anything about the abuse and says the district wanted to avoid further costly legal battles， KABC reports。

　　周五據《洛杉磯時報》報道稱，之前遭遇加州高中教師性侵的男學生獲得學區賠償600萬美元（約人民幣4，000萬元）。《雷德蘭德日報》報道到受害人的律師文斯。費納迪稱這是美國歷史上官方賠償數額最大的兒童性侵和解金。「該數額之大並非偶然，」費納迪如是說。他認為雷蘭聯合學區明知勞拉。懷荷絲特性侵學生卻並未理會，因此該校區別無選擇只能和解。校區發言人否認校方知道此事，校區只是想避免進一步昂貴的法律訴訟費，KABC報道稱。

　　Whitehurst was arrested in July 2013 and convicted of having sexual relationships with the victim， who was 17 at the time， and two other students。 She served six months in jail and now shares custody of her child with the victim， who says Whitehurst used religion to keep him quiet and in the relationship。 The school district says the $6 million settlement will not affect its budget for teachers and other educational expenses。 「We hope that this tragic and unfortunate episode will now be behind us，」 the district spokesperson tells the Daily Facts。

　　懷荷絲特於2013年7月被捕，被控與受害者發生性關係，當時受害者年僅17歲，另外還有兩名學生遭到性侵。她在監獄中服役半年，如今與受害者共同享有孩子的監護權，受害人說懷荷絲特用宗教使他保持沉默並維持這段關係。校區稱600萬美元的和解費不會影響教師及其他教育支出的預算。「我們希望這件悲慘且不幸的事情不會再對我們產生影響，」校區發言人告訴《雷德蘭德日報》。
