What’s going on with our school systems in America? We have students taking down teachers hair, so many cases of teachers having relationships with students… Now this.
Dontay Akeem Prophet, 33, principal at Destiny Leadership Academy (DLA) in Ocala, was arrested on May 11 after surveillance video from a classroom showed Prophet physically restraining a young boy.
According to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO), security footage captured on May 10 showed Prophet grabbing the victim, restraining him on the ground between his legs, and employing a chokehold. Prophet could also be seen on camera using a charging cable to strike the child and slapping him in the face.
To make matters worse, Prophet was arrested back in 2017 for molesting a young girl he met at a summer camp where he worked.
Additionally, Destiny Leadership Academy is a private Christian elementary school. There’s NOTHING Godly about his behavior.
MCSO released about three minutes of the 40+ minute long security camera footage. They also released a body camera video of Prophet’s arrest.
Prophet is being held at the Marion County jail on no bond. Court records show he also uses the name Dontay Akeem Lopez. His next court appearance is June 11, 2024.
