Time To Make Set It Off Required Viewing At Oprah's School

For the second time in two years, allegations of sexual abuse have plagued Oprah Winfrey's school for girls in South Africa.

According to local newspaper "Afrikaans on Sunday," seven students were suspended last week for sexually harassing their schoolmates.

One 15-year-old was accused of preying on another student and forcing other girls to lie to investigators about it, the paper reported. Other girls were said to be caught fondling each other or trying to get other girls to join them in sexual activity.

A letter sent to one of the suspended girls' parents reportedly read, "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."

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 opened the school in 2007, calling it the proudest day of her life. About 10 months later, 15 girls reported they had been sexually abused by a matron, Virginia Tiny Mokgobo, 27. She denies the charges and is due back in court on June 1.
