In late 2014 a lawyer for California’s largest school district, the L.A. Unified School District, successfully argued that a 14-year old, 8th grader was partially responsible for being raped and sexually abused by her teacher Elkis Hermida. The attorney who argued on behalf of the school district, W. Keith Wyatt, was subsequently fired after an interview that aired on KPCC, a local public radio station. NBC News interviewed California Child Abuse Attorney, Anthony DeMarco regarding his thoughts on the controversy as a local child sexual abuse expert.
