California Jury Awards $48 Million to Students in Teacher Abuse Case
A California jury awarded $48 million in damages to six former students of the Mountain View School District who were sexually abused over several years by their elementary school teacher, Joseph Baldenebro. The jury found that the district was negligent in supervising and employing Baldenebro, ignoring repeated warnings from staff and students about his inappropriate behavior dating back decades. The abuse occurred at Miramonte Elementary School between the late 1990s and 2017, affecting children as young as eight years old. Baldenebro, who is currently in prison for multiple convictions of lewd acts on children, will pay a portion of the damages, while the district is responsible for $36.2 million. Attorneys for the victims emphasized that the district's longstanding inaction enabled the abuse and caused lasting trauma. The school district acknowledged its negligence and expressed deep regret for the harm caused.
