The ruling on the Gebser case basically states that monetary damages will not be awarded unless the managing entity (employer or school district) blatantly ignore the allegations against the accused sexual offender. In the case of Gebser, the school ignored the accusations against the teacher until he was caught red-handed engaged in sexual activity with a student/minor.
