The principal touches the girls inappropriately and also talks in foul language.” The main complainant said that the principal molested her twice and when she asked to stop, he threatened to expel her from the school. The principal asked me to support him, otherwise be prepared to face serious consequences. He has sexually harassed many girls.”
