An assistant principal in a California school abruptly resigned on the same day that a woman posted a YouTube video claiming the woman had molested her for years when she was a middle school student. The accuser, who is now 28, said she posted the video because when she finally worked up the courage to report the alleged abuse, she learned that the statute of limitations on the accusation had expired. She said she went public, instead, to make sure the woman would never work with children again.
"She told me that my family didn't love me. That nobody cared about me, that she was my only friend and the only person who cared about me," Jamie said at a news conference on Monday.
"I was only 12 years old when I met you," she told the woman on the other end of the line who identified herself as Cardosa. "Do you realize that you brainwashed me and that you manipulated me and what you did was wrong?"
"Yes and I regret it," the woman says.
"Do you know that I am completely messed up and that I have so many issues because of you?" Jamie asks.
"I just wanted to help you," the woman says.
"It's completely shocking to me that you are an assistant principal," Jamie says. "Are you doing this with other students too? Is this how you help them?"
The woman on the other end of the line expresses remorse and says she is ashamed of what happened before Jamie hangs up the call.
"Not an I'm sorry or anything, just she regrets it," Jamie says. She adds that she is "shaking like a leaf" after the call.

I never took the smile away from anybody's face
And that's a desperate way to look
For someone who is still a child
So take that look out of here it doesn't fit you
Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded
Pull up your head off the floor, come up screaming
Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted
I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered
