O no, not again! Oprah's school rocked by second sex scandal in 2 years

What the hell is going on at this school?!



Oprah Winfrey's elite boarding school for girls in South Africa has been rocked by its second sex scandal in fewer than two years.

Seven students were suspended last week for sexually harassing their schoolmates, the "Afrikaans on Sunday" newspaper reported.

One 15-year-old was accused of preying on another pupil and forcing other girls to lie to investigators about it, the paper reported.

"You have been found guilty of physical contact of a sexual nature with another pupil on campus, harassment, bullying other girls on campus and of being dishonest by not telling investigators the whole truth," a letter to her parents read.

Other girls were caught fondling each other or trying to get other girls to join them in lesbian liaisons, the paper reported.

Oprah's spokesperson, Lisa Halliday, confirmed the girls had been suspended from the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy School for Girls - but gave few details.

"It is because they contravened the school's code of conduct," she said. "We regard the incident as confidential."

Winfrey called it the proudest moment of her life when she opened the $46 million school near Johannesburg in January 2007 to help high achieving but poor South African girls.

Nelson Mandela dedicated the school and luminaries ranging from songbirds Mariah Carey and Mary J. Blige to filmmaker Spike Lee and actor Sidney Poitier attended the opening.

The school, which aims to house 450 girls in grades 7 through 12 by 2011, offered free tuition, books and uniforms, as well as room and board.

In return, the girls were required to follow the rules.

Ten months later, Winfrey sobbed uncontrollably after 15 girls eported they had been sexually abused by a matron who was supposed to be watching over them.

The talk show queen said the sex abuse charges hit her especially hard because she was raped and molested by a cousin, uncle and family friend when she was 9.

"I am a mama bear when it comes to protecting my children," she said at the time.
"These girls are like my children. That's not just rhetoric for me. I take their futures and the possibility for what their futures hold very seriously."

Dorm matron Virginia Tiny Makgobo, 27, was charged with indecent assault, common assault, soliciting a minor to perform an indecent act and verbal abuse of girls at the school. She denies the charges and is due back in court on June 1.

Vowing to "clean house," Winfrey also fired the school's headmistress and announced she would hand out cell phones - with her number on speed dial - to each student.

It was not clear if any students used their phones to report the latest outrage.

Am I the only one who is not a bit surprised at this?

You get a bunch of people of the same sex, cram them into a boarding school for 9 months, and then subject them to a restrictive discipline code. They're going to start fucking each other eventually, if only to blow of the stress.

I think its something all kids go through. Then again I don't think 7-8 should be with 9-12 grades.

I feel like people are going to use this to laugh at Oprah, when really there wasn't much anyone could have done to prevent it.

Mostly this. :|

There wasn't much Oprah could have done, I mean she had the girls get cellphones and use them to call her if there was trouble. She is on the otherside of the world. There wasn't much she could do, but honestly it does send a blow at her.

Well yeah I mean, if she really is as motherly as she says she is (which I don't doubt), it'll probably weigh heavily on her conscience...
They may learn from this but they'll have to figure out new ways keep it all under control or something. v_v

You'd think that it would have crossed their minds when they first pledged to organize the school. :notrust


I imagine the psychology department there is somewhat lacking....or rather, absent. :zaru

See in dorms it can be very hard to monitor such things. Its not like trying to hide a boy. Girls can go in other girls rooms. So it wouldn't be suspicious of them being in another girl's room. Someone needs to come up with a solution for this. Maybe Oprah should go to other all girl schools and get some help from people who have been running these kids of schools for years.

I would say the only sure way is to put cameras everywhere cept the bathrooms, but even that is ridiculous, not to mention filled with loopholes. O:

...They could do routine lie-detecting tests. :awesome

Or they could do the sane and sensible thing, encourage safe and mutually rewarding sexual conduct while only bothering to bring to the hammer down on the people who are abusive.

Wait, nvm, forgot to tow the ideological line. Sex is bad, mkay?

[Moonshine]

I'm not surprised by this at all.

Some people might be too afraid to tell anyone if they are sexually abused and stuff, until it happens repeatedly. I think no matter what, some people (the abusers) are just always going to be there, ready to ruin stuff. :|

Oh, yes, sex=going to hell. :quite

[Rikudou]

I hope they filmed some of it :awesome

[pfft]

you can't expect things to just go smoothly now can you....

27 min.


I knew someone was bound to go there eventually. :hehee

Yeah I'm not really surprised either.

I'm sure that this kind of thing happens pretty often at schools like that. It's just that this one gets in the news because it's Oprah's school.

[Sky is Over]

Hmmm, probably to protect her reputation, she will pay mercenaries to raid the school, burn it down, and deny that it ever existed. Yup, that should be able to cover her tracks. :del

[Champagne Supernova]

I wish i was as the expression goes.

A fly on the wall :ho

[ButtholeSurfer]

Let me tell you about aids...

[CrazyMoronX]

Silly kids and their sex.

[SammyTehDuckie]

Putting any of the same gender confined in one area for too long is bad.
No matter what age.
Example: I have only women in my house. It is constant hell until one of my guy friends stay over for awhile.
And it has nothing to do with sex oddly. I mean he's gay after all. :laugh
But having a man around seems to ease the enviroment a little bit.
So those girls, not to metion they are at their sexual peak, being stuck with nothing but the same gender? It's like dropping a bomb and not expecting it to explode.

[HinataSanctuary]

This always happens at same-sex schools :facepalm
I hope that they were upset that that one girl was bullied into it, not because of their sexuality.

[Lilykt7]

Stupid girls, do they not understand what kind of situation they're in? Why would anyone at that school put their future into jeopardy like that.

[ShadowTeady]

...................:huh no comment

[Miss Fortune]

Sometimes when you're in an all girls school you get desperate. Experiment! ... experiment my ass... damn you science term... :LOS
Now that Oprah has given them cell phones, there'll be phone sex, they'll never get out of their dorms and oh! Disastor! :argh
:facepalm
Mama bear needs to punish you!

[Stroev]

Hot stuff.

Only a matter of time.

[Hand Banana]

Sadly the only thing I got out of this is Oprah is down for gangbangs.

[Ephemere]

We love you Oprah.

[Cirus]

You can't go to a area of the world like that put in a school and expect everything to be ok. Though it should be better over there. You can't throw money at problems and expect them to just be fixed. I am completely not suprised by what is going on.

[ikra]

i FEEL a conspiaricy regarding the cell phones.....

[iLurk]

So...

Locking up a group of girls together for 9 months will turn them into lesbians?

I wouldn't even let a cock near my face if I'm ever enlisted in the army.

The British used to have a big problem with this but in their case it was boys. Some schools still might in fact.

Actually women don't enter their sexually peak until their late 20s early 30s.

Except that the real problem is that no matter what you do there will be perverts. If you put cameras everywhere then odds are somebody's just going to make a video of this schoolgirl lovefest and sell it on the Internet.

[SammyTehDuckie]

What I'm saying is it's the time when they start having sex and no dicks around.

[Velvet]

i agree :quite

[Megatonton]

I blame Dr. Phil. :quite

Randomly.
