Were criminal charges filed against the student's father? Certainly this is child endangerment. Name the father and the rapist.
This seems like a misuse of public funds to pay this claim.

@Robyn. The father's name appears in the SF Chronicle article linked within the article.

Our tax dollars at work. What a crock ....

Raped off campus by a student and not an MVLA employee??? That's not the responsibility of the School District. That's the responsibility of the police and the student!!! The moral responsibility belongs with her father, who hosted the stinking party. This whole thing is just politically correct feel-good legal ckkkrapp. Tort law in the USA needs to be revised to the British System of tort law. No fishing for deep money pockets, just sue the bad actors --- the rapist and her parents.

The victim's father did not host the party - it was the father of another LAHS student. The wellbeing of a sexual assault victim who also happens to be under the partial protection of our (very well-off) school district is not "feel-good legal ckkkrapp." It is important to do what we can, especially as a school community, to support people who experience these traumatic events.

I read the story to report that the father of the alleged student rapist arramged the party in San Jose hotel rooms. He was probably guilty of at least contributing to the delinquency of his son and other then-minors. But the matter was not reported to the police for too long. The statute of limitations for misdemeanors in CA is one year (suspended or "tolled" for any time the perpetrator is out-of-state). Still, if I were a San Jose police detective, I would look into that father even now to see what else he has done.

@ Addison F "(very well off) school district" ?
We just voted to tax ourselves so they would have the money to accommodate repairs and expansion of facilities to house all the students. Paying off the bad deeds of other people doesn't fall under the school district's responsibility when it is outside school hours and off campus.
Maybe you should start a Go Fund Me and chip in as you are equally responsible.
