Oprah's Girls School Rocked by Second Sex Scandal

Oprah Winfrey's school for girls is becoming better known as a magnet for scandal.

Is it time for Oprah Winfrey to book another flight to South Africa?

For the second time in two years, the talk show titan's Leadership Academy School for Girls is in crisis after seven students were suspended for "inappropriate behaviors" toward fellow classmates that purportedly included sexual misconduct.

School spokeswoman Lisa Halliday told the U.K.'s Telegraph that the pupils were ousted after allegedly having intimate physical contact with other children in contravention of the school's code of conduct.

"We regard the incident as confidential," Halliday said.

No immediate comment from Winfrey.

Her boarding school, which is located in the town of Henley-on-Clip outside of Johannesburg, was rocked by scandal in 2007 when a 27-year-old dorm matron was arrested after being accused of assaulting and abusing six students and dismissed from her job.

This time around however, it's the kids who are allegedly doing the violating.

According to South Africa's Afrikaans on Sunday newspaper, one 15-year-old was said to have "preyed" on a fellow student and bullied others into lying to investigators about the alleged incidents.

That prompted adminstrators to send one suspended girl's parents a letter explaining the punitive action.

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

The Leadership Academy opened its doors in January 2007 after Winfrey poured more than $40 million of her own fortune into its founding. The school houses approximately 150 children in dormitories and will eventually educate up to 450 students.
