According to investigators, the girl used to accompany the Principal to school every day, but on the day of the crime, the accused brought her to another area and did not return to school.

Students and instructors at the school have corroborated this. “On the way to school, the principal attempted to sexually assault her, and she began shouting,” police reported.

“The principal choked the girl to keep her from shouting,” an official stated.

The principal confessed to his crime, and a complaint has been filed, according to police.
