A high-school coach in Denver, Colorado has been fired after video emerged of him pushing a 13-year-old cheerleader down into splits while she screamed for him to stop. Ally Wakefield said new East High coach Ozell Williams tore one of her ligaments and one of her leg muscles during the exercise, which is known as 'breaking'. Dvd Shrink 4 3 Keygen Download more. Williams, who has now been removed from his position, told the that the video - in whch she's seen screaming 'Please stop!' Was 'taken out of context.' But now it has emerged that he was fired from another school position last year for doing the exact same thing - and allegedly told girls at another of his classes he would 'punch them in the face' if they messed up.
Scroll down for video. Gym owner Julie Ledbetter said she and Williams (pictured at the 2012 World Gymnastics Championship) almost teamed up until she saw him tell a girl 'I'm going to punch you in the face if you don't do it next time' On Thursday afternoon, Boulder High Principal James A Hill sent a note to parents saying that Williams 'unfortunately, had connections to our cheerleading squad.' That connection was a paid consultancy gig from 2015-2016 - one that only ended when a parent complained after he began using his 'breaking' technique there.
And the owner of a gym in Brighton said she had decided not to team up with Williams, who also founded athlete coaching business, after he displayed some worrying behavior. 'They would go to do things and if they would stop, like they would go into a tumbling pass and they would stop, and he would be like, 'I'm going to punch you in the face if you don't do it next time,' Julie Ledbetter told KUSA.
She added: 'You don't tell kids you're going to punch them in the face if they can't pull the skill.' Ledbetter told the channel she didn't see any other girls being made to do the splits, but also said she didn't leave her students alone with Williams. When contacted by the Denver Post, Williams said the video was being seen out of context, but declined to say what that context might be. 'He was pushing down on the back of my right leg. He was pushing like with his other knee on my back to try to keep my posture straight,' Wakefield (pictured) said 'I would love to tell my story, but I can't say anything else at this time.'
In the wake of the video's release, East High placed four members of staff on administrative leave while the school and police investigate the footage. They are Principal Andy Mendelsberg, Lisa Portert, an assistant principal; Mariah Cladis, assistant cheer coach; and Michael Huckman, school district deputy general counsel. Williams was also placed on administrative leave prior to being fired. Earlier, Wakefield told KUSA that the pain was unbearable. 'It was tearing my ligament and my muscle at the same time,' she said. Wakefield's mother, Kirsten (right), sent an email to the assistant principal on June 15, attaching a video; an investigation wasn't launched until August 'This is a grown man pushing my 13-year-old girl so hard against her will while she's crying and screaming for him to stop that he's ripping tissues in her body,' she told KUSA.
In another video, a second, unidentified girl, is seen screaming as she is held down and Williams tells her to stay still. 'Please help me,' she wails. 'You stay there,' Williams tells her. Denver Public Schools superintendent Tom Boasberg called the videos 'extremely distressing.' 'We absolutely prohibit any practices that place our students' physical and mental health in jeopardy,' Boasberg said in a statement.
'We do not and will not allow any situation in which a student is forced to perform an activity or exercise beyond the point at which they express their desire to stop.'
