A 53 Year Old Principal Arrested for Forcing 13-Year-Old Student to Massage Her Feet.

In a suburb of Cape Town, an assistant principal stands accused of “toe-tally” inappropriate behavior with a student. 

A 53-year-old middle school administrator was placed on administrative leave and arrested after reportedly subjecting a young male student to a foot massage and making suggestive comments that left some seriously squirming in their shoes.

COSATU provided details of the scandal, claiming that it all began when a 13-year-old boy found himself in the principal's office for “rolling” with paper balls during a test. 

The assistant principal, evidently frustrated by the boy’s fidgety fingers, declared that since he didn’t “have anything better to do with his hands,” he might as well put them to work on her tired tootsies. As if this wasn’t bizarre enough, she allegedly plopped her legs onto his lap after removing her shoes—a move that definitely won’t be making any Teacher-of-the-Year highlight reel anytime soon.

Word quickly “heeled” around the school, fueled by two witnesses who claim they heard the principal scolding the boy for not massaging her feet correctly, even going so far as to demonstrate the proper technique on his arm and shoulder. 

She reportedly quipped that he should rub her feet “like he loved her,” offering this impromptu tutorial as “foreplay” preparation for his future romantic relationships.

When questioned, she defended her actions, saying it was only a joke to “humble” the teen. While she denied making any inappropriate remarks, she admitted her behavior was certainly not the “sole” of discretion.

Detective Grady Judd deemed the alleged actions “completely inappropriate” for an educator of her standing. Superintendent Frederick Heid didn’t mince words, declaring that the assistant principal should be barred from working with children again. He commended the courageous boy for reporting the situation without hesitation.

Facing charges of lewd conduct and offense against a student by an authority figure, the disgraced educator may soon find herself “walking the plank” out of a job as the school investigation continues. 

It remains to be seen whether justice will be served and the accused principal is left “defeeted.”
