The mother of a school girl at Oprah's Leadership Academy says the abuser, 27-year-old Tiny Makopo, once tried to get in bed, under the blanket, with her daughter’s roommate. The daughter was not in the room at the time, but said her roommate told her the story. The parent also said her daughter heard other girls at the school claim a student walked into her room and saw Makopo lying on top of her roommate, in bed.
Tiny Makopo, faces 13 charges of indecent assault, assault and criminal injury committed against at least six students aged 13-15 and a 23-year-old at the school. Makopo said she was innocent when the charges were read during a bail hearing in Johannesburg, and the magistrate allowed her to go free on a $450 bond.
