Whitehurst preyed on her victims while teaching at Redlands High School and Citrus Valley High School in California between 2006 and 2013.

The fresh allegations accuse her of sexual battery against another unnamed male student in 2007 and 2008, who was 16 at the time.

The former student alleges Whitehurst sexually abused him inside a Redlands classroom as well as off campus.

The lawsuit reviewed by Mercury News accuses the school’s former principal and the district of negligent hiring practices and causing emotional distress.

Whitehurst was first arrested and charged with 41 counts of sex and oral copulation with a minor in 2013.

Complaints were lodged about the teacher molesting minors from 2006 and continued up to the time of her arrest, according to police reports.

In the June of 2013, Whitehurst gave birth to a daughter – shockingly fathered by one of the students when she abused him.

She pleaded guilty to unlawful sex with three former students and served six months in jail for her crimes, and remains a registered sex offender.

The latest legal filing claims that school authorities, including ex-principal Christina Rivera, were aware of the accusations against Whitehurst but did not intervene or report the misconduct.

Morgan Stewart, a partner at Manly, Stewart & Finaldi, who initiated the lawsuit, commented, “There is a reason why Redlands Unified School District is often cited as a prime example of student sexual abuse nationwide.”

“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.”

Whitehurst is said to have invited students between the ages of 14 and 18 into her classroom, where she would steer the conversation towards sex.

She would then have intercourse with the students in her classroom as well as at her home, according to lawsuits against her.

The father of Whitehurst’s child to sued his former teacher and Redlands School District in 2014, and received a $6million settlement.

He claimed Whitehurst had stalked him and told him she was unable to get pregnant.

He alleged that Redland officials knew about the relationship but failed to warn his family.

The district agreed to pay a further $2.25million in 2023 to settle a lawsuit from another former student who claimed to have been abused by Whitehurst.

The teacher admitted to police in 2013 that she had sex with this teen 10 to 15 times, according to a police report.

Whitehurst graduated from Redlands in 2003, and began her career as an English teacher there in 2006.

She was laid off due to budget cuts in 2009, but began teaching at Citrus Valley in 2010.

In June 2013 she gave birth to a 17-year-old student’s child, and when the victim’s mother found discovered this she called the police.

In light of the fresh allegations, Redlands Unified School District said: “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.”
