The woman accused of abusing pupils at Oprah Winfrey‘s South African school for girls goes to trial today, Tuesday.
She’s expected to plead not guilty to charges of indecent assault, assault and criminal injury.
South African authorities say six teenage students and a fellow dormitory matron were abused by the woman over four months.
The six girls will give evidence in a session closed to the public.
The girls are said to be “very scared and very, very emotional.”
The trial is expected to run through August 1.
Oprah, who was a victim of child abuse herself, has promised an overhaul of the school and has apologized to parents.
