A 14-year-old girl in Los Angeles was raped by her teacher. Then the L.A. School District blamed her for it.

The teacher abused his authority, pressured an 8th grader, and raped her. But Keith Wyatt, the lawyer for the school district, argued in court that the rape was her fault. Then, he went on the radio to blame her in the media, too.

The story is getting national press attention, and now the L.A. School District is coming under fire for hiring Wyatt to represent the district in this case, and more than a dozen others, including the cover-up of widespread sexual assault at an elementary school. With enough public pressure, they'll be forced to fire him and instead of blaming survivors, provide them with resources and support. Will you add your name?
