ARREST MADE AT OPRAH’S SCHOOL
LATEST: A former employee at OPRAH WINFREY’s all-girls academy in South Africa has been arrested amid a child molestation scandal at the school.
The media mogul recently visited the Henley-on-Klip Leadership Academy, which she co-founded last year (06), after hearing reports a matron at the boarding school had fondled a pupil.
Seven alleged victims have since come forward accusing school staff of assault and indecent assault.
Winfrey has commended the South African authorities for their investigations into the claims, stating, "It is my deepest hope that the accused is brought to justice.
"This serves as a reminder that any time a child has the courage to step forward it is our duty as adults to listen and take immediate action." (KL/WN) WENN - BREAKING NEWS - 2 NOVEMBER 2007 —————————————————————-
