Saga of Los Angeles teacher convicted of lewd acts over November 21 at 8:43 PM Litigation in teacher lewd-act case over The Los Angeles Unified School District will pay $139 million to end remaining litigation involving an elementary school teacher convicted of committing lewd acts against his students, according to the settlement announced Friday. The deal involving 81 students puts a legal end to the saga that began when Miramonte Elementary School teacher Mark Berndt was arrested in 2012 and accused of blindfolding students and feeding them his bodily fluids. The case led to an overhaul of how the nation's second-largest school district handles allegations of sexual abuse. Berndt was sentenced to 25 years in prison after pleading no contest to 23 counts of lewd conduct. The settlement reached during jury selection came in addition to the $30 million the district previously agreed to pay to settle 65 other cases involving Berndt.
