The Archdiocese of Los Angeles has agreed to pay a record $8-million settlement to a teenager who was sexually abused by the athletic director at her Catholic high school, who continued to work despite prior allegations of misconduct.

After five days on the run, Barajas’ Lexus was spotted by a police officer in Henderson, Nev. Authorities rescued the girl and arrested Barajas, a health teacher and athletic director at the all-girls San Gabriel Mission High School. “The warning signs here were crystal clear,” Ring said. “The complaints about Barajas were unambiguous, and yet nothing was done.”

In the fall of 2015, a coach reported his suspicions to the principal that Barajas and a female student had had sex in his basement office after seeing them both leave the office and fix their clothes.

Holy shit I know the girl that ran off with him, from what I heard is that she ran off with him somewhere and now she finessed 8 million, wtf

Shocked and speechless. She knew what she was doing. She is laughing and ruined a family. She is teaching other teens to seduce and lie to cash out. He was stupid to fall for this. Way to go A.

I'm curious. Was the $740 million paid out via insurance of some sort? I'm scratching my head here: if the Archdiocese has that much in the bank, I sure hope they're racing to help the homeless around LA.

Too bad people aren't as shocked by children being molested as they are by adults having conflicts with police. Surely, there are just as many. No one seems phased.

$740 million dollars in payouts over the last 15 years in this diocese alone?! All the shame and guilt the Catholic Church has tried to push upon its ‘sinful’ flock for generations belongs on them. Just simply shameful. Imagine the humanitarian deeds this money could have served.
