It began with a 6-year-old city boy touching a girl in his class, and it ended up costing the city $50,000 in legal fees - plus thousands more in city insurance payouts totaling nearly a quarter-million dollars. The elementary school student, accused of sexually harassing a classmate as a first-grader in 2006, will receive a total of about $160,000 in a legal settlement reached with the city. His parents received $20,000. The boy, then 6, was suspended from the Downey Elementary School for three days after school officials accused him of sexually harassing a classmate. The principal said he had violated sexual harassment policy by touching a female classmate inside her clothing waistband during a class.
