Long Beach Unified wins judgment against accuser in false rape case against Brian Banks
By Greg Mellen Staff Writer
LOS ANGELES - The Long Beach Unified School District won a $2.6 million default judgment against a woman whose false rape allegation in 2002 cost the school district money and landed a fellow student in jail.
Although Wanetta Gibson has not appeared in court throughout the proceedings and her whereabouts were not know, the ruling allows the school district to recoup the money through her future wages and property.
Gibson was a student at Long Beach Poly High when she first sued the district for having lax security and an unsafe environment after she accused Brian Banks, a promising football star, of rape.
Gibson later recanted the rape claim on tape, paving the way for Banks' exoneration of the charge - however, he had already served more than five years in prison.
Banks earlier this year signed a contract to play football for the Atlanta Falcons. He was unavailable for comment.
According to the school district, the judgment recoups a $750,000 settlement paid to Gibson and also includes attorney's fees, interest and $1 million in punitive damages.
"The court recognizes that our school district was a victim in this case," Long Beach Unified Superintendent Christopher J. Steinhauser said.
"This judgment demonstrates that when people attempt to defraud our school system, they will feel the full force of the law."
When the school district first announced it was suing Gibson, district spokesman Chris Eftychiou said "It is important to convey that the school board isn't going to sit idly by if someone tries to defraud it of taxpayer resources."
Lawyers from the school district were unable to locate Gibson, who in 2007 was awarded the settlement.
The Press-Telegram reported initially that Gibson received $750,000 from a $1.5 million overall settlement.
