Oprah Winfrey's rough couple of weeks ended on a bright note when South African authorities arrested the dorm matron accused of physically and sexually abusing girls at the talk show host's $40 million school for girls. Winfrey released the following statement:
“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.”
