Oprah Sex Scandal Students Could Not Call for Help

Police in South Africa have arrested a former employee (matron) at the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy on charges of physical and sexual abuse. Police have not released the former employee’s name. Students allege the dorm matron threw a student against a wall after first grabbing her by the throat, the matron swore, screamed at and assaulted other students, and attempting to solicit students for indecent acts. The victims were unable to get help because they were prohibited from calling or emailing their families except on weekends. From the opening of the school, parents protested those contact restrictions, but were ignored. Now Oprah has given each girl their own cell phone and her personal phone number. How about putting the police number on speed dial as well?
