- Share via
Los Angeles Unified School District administrators are considering the fate of a third-grade teacher who pleaded guilty to battering students at a Wilshire District school.
Robert Linn McEwen, 50, was sentenced Tuesday to 60 days on a Caltrans work crew, fined $1,450 and ordered to undergo a year of anger-control counseling, said Mike Qualls, spokesman for the Los Angeles city attorney’s office.
McEwen, charged with two misdemeanor counts of battery, was accused of shoving a boy into a desk, causing the student to cut his mouth, and throwing a girl against a wall. An LAPD investigation identified nine other Wilton Place Elementary School students who reported physical abuse by McEwen.
