L.A. Unified Agrees to a $14.7 Million Settlement with Sexual Abuse Victims
Attorneys representing seven students who were molested by their former elementary school teacher have reached a $14.7-million settlement with Los Angeles school officials.
The Los Angeles Board of Education approved the settlement Tuesday, said Michael Carrillo, an attorney representing five of the victims.
Carrillo said that although the settlement does not undo the abuse suffered, it provides a measure of closure.
