The principal of an elementary school in Ocala, Florida has been arrested after being caught on camera assaulting a student. Dontay Akeem Prophet, 33, was subsequently charged with aggravated child abuse and false imprisonment of a victim under the age of 13.
According to WCJB, the incident took place on Friday at Destiny Leadership Academy, a private school in the northern area of town. That day, Prophet allegedly locked a male student in a classroom before abusing him. Footage showed the principal allegedly take the boy to the ground before pinning him down as he thrashes about.
According to police, footage allegedly caught him “using a charging cable to strike the child, causing the child to fall and sustain injuries.”
“Additionally,” the force added, “Prophet twisted the child’s ankle, slapped the child in the face, and subjected him to further physical abuse.” It wasn’t until law enforcement caught up with Prophet on Saturday that he found out that there was a security camera in the room.
