A second sex scandal has erupted at Oprah Winfrey's elite boarding school for girls in South Africa 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.
"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 liasons, 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."
WOAH!

... this place is so going to end up closing. Such as a shame when the aim of opening it in the first place was so well intentioned :(

Shocking. Too bad, as well. The scandals from this school have stunned me from Day 1, considering that Oprah always prides herself in the enrinchment of individuals and helping to cultivate a better society.
Oprah means well, but looks are unfortunately deceiving from what we've seen and heard of some of the students and school.
