An arrest made in abuse case at Oprah's academy...

.aaaoprah.jpgOprah Winfrey is mighty grateful that an arrest has been made in the troubling abuse case at her new girl’s school in South Africa.
Police told Reuters that so far, seven women at the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls have alleged physical and sexual abuse and that a 27-year-old former dormitory employee has been arrested on several charges. The woman’s name has not been released.
Oprah, not wanting to interfere with prosecution, released a statement Friday: "I'd like to thank the South African Police Services for bringing this investigation at my Academy to a timely resolution. I am grateful for their compassion and sensitivity to the girls during this difficult time. It means the world to me. It is my deepest hope that the accused is brought to justice and that 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."
