He bought her her meals and gifts, and spent time alone with her in the windowless theater room, the suit claimed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The following school year, Weible allegedly abused her in the theater room on campus in the middle of the night. The school’s alarm system went off and police responded, the suit said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview with KQED, the former student, who asked not to be named for this story, said that Weible shoved her into a closet after hearing police arrive, and she snuck out, running through the middle of campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12009621\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12009621 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/SchoolLockers.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1251\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/SchoolLockers.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/SchoolLockers-800x500.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/SchoolLockers-1020x638.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/SchoolLockers-160x100.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/SchoolLockers-1536x961.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/SchoolLockers-1920x1201.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">San Ramon Valley Unified is paying nearly $7 million to settle a lawsuit over sexual abuse by former educator Ryan Weible. \u003ccite>(Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“If they checked their security cameras the next day, they would have seen me running across campus at full speed, just afraid and panicking and not sure what to do,” she said. “I was never approached by the school about it; they never talked to me about it. They never talked to me about him at all, actually.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Through his attorney, Weible denied the allegations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Records obtained by KQED from San Ramon Valley Unified show that in 2011, police and district personnel found unused condoms on the desk, a condom wrapper on the ground and a used condom in the garbage can. The district reprimanded him, instructing him to “refrain from inappropriate conduct while on school property” and to stop staying overnight on school property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the records, Weible argued that the professional theatre industry uses condoms as a protective measure against the moisture damage of wireless body microphone transmitters. He said his sound manager had accidentally purchased the wrong type of condoms.[aside postID=news_12050036 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/DeltaSFOGetty.jpg']The suit claimed that Weible’s inappropriate behavior was frequently on display. He gave students side hugs, hand massages and had female students sit on his lap, the suit alleged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re an institution managing multiple schools, and you’re just going to keep blowing clear, crazy red flags off? How many kids are you going to hurt to protect your reputation?” Doe said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a written statement, district Superintendent CJ Cammack said the allegations are deeply disturbing, and the case does not reflect “the high quality of our SRVUSD teachers and staff.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cammack said the district followed all legally required hiring practices and, in recent years, has made comprehensive improvements to its hiring and background check procedures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am confident that our current staff are committed to acting responsibly and with vigilance in support of student safety,” Cammack wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weible resigned from San Ramon Valley Unified in 2012. Records obtained by KQED show that as part of his separation agreement, the district promised only to share basic details of his job, like dates of employment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district also agreed not to provide any negative comments or give a negative impression about Weible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Who does that protect?” said Lauren Cerri, the attorney representing the victims. “It doesn’t protect the students. It protects the district and it protects him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Cerri, San Ramon Valley Unified did not report Weible to the Commission on Teacher Credentialing, the state agency with the authority to revoke teaching credentials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the lawsuit was filed in February 2024, \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbalawfirm.com/second-sexual-abuse-victim-sues-san-ramon-valley-unified-school.html\">a second victim came forward\u003c/a>, alleging Weible sexually assaulted her on school grounds from the beginning of the 2011 school year at San Ramon Valley High School. Jane Doe 2 alleges in the suit that Weible told her he loved her and wanted to marry her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By December 2024, months after the lawsuit was filed and more than a decade after he left the district, San Ramon Valley Unified reported Weible to the Commission on Teacher Credentialing, records show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jane Doe said the process of seeing the district’s response to the civil complaint has worn her down, and she no longer believes the school district will change its policies “or suddenly start following them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she hopes speaking out can at least raise awareness in the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to do everything I can to get some sort of change, because it does not sit well with me at all that they could be so blasé with me and everything that happened to me, with all the red flags that they had,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can’t let this slide,” she said. “I cannot let it slide.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

A 2022 study found that a program run by Community Works and another restorative justice nonprofit for youth ages 13 to 17 facing serious felony charges resulted in a 44% reduction in recidivism — compared to a control group who were prosecuted in the traditional juvenile justice system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“ It’s not kumbaya, it’s not ‘Let’s hold hands and hand you a get out of jail free card.’ It’s really difficult work that most people spend their whole lives trying to avoid having to do,” said Lara Bazelon, a professor of law at the University of San Francisco and director of its racial justice clinic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the nonprofit is excited about the potential of its new brick-and-mortar, Hogg acknowledges that it faces political headwinds at the local and federal levels.

A 2022 study found that a program run by Community Works and another restorative justice nonprofit for youth ages 13 to 17 facing serious felony charges resulted in a 44% reduction in recidivism — compared to a control group who were prosecuted in the traditional juvenile justice system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“ It’s not kumbaya, it’s not ‘Let’s hold hands and hand you a get out of jail free card.’ It’s really difficult work that most people spend their whole lives trying to avoid having to do,” said Lara Bazelon, a professor of law at the University of San Francisco and director of its racial justice clinic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the nonprofit is excited about the potential of its new brick-and-mortar, Hogg acknowledges that it faces political headwinds at the local and federal levels.
