A school coach who was fired after a video emerged showing him forcing a cheerleader down into splits despite her screaming for him to stop will not face criminal charges.

Ozell Williams was accused of tearing 13-year-old Ally Wakefields ligaments and one of her leg muscles during the exercise, which is known as breaking. In one shocking video Ally repeatedly asks her coach to please stop.

She can then be heard screaming as three teammates hold her down and Williams pushes on her back. Ally told KUSA that the pain was unbearable. School coach filmed forcing crying cheerleader into splits will not face charges

She said: It was tearing my ligament and my muscle at the same time. 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.

Her mother, Kirsten Wakefield, sent an email to the assistant principal on June 15, attaching the video and writing that her daughter injured her leg as a result of what happened on tape. She said: This is a grown man pushing my 13-year-old girl so hard against her will while shes crying and screaming for him to stop that hes ripping tissues in her body.

Denver Public Schools superintendent Tom Boasberg called the videos extremely distressing and said: We absolutely prohibit any practices that place our students physical and mental health in jeopardy. 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.

School coach filmed forcing crying cheerleader into splits will not face charges. Other videos showed cheerleaders at Denvers East High School repeatedly being pushed into splits while their arms were held up by teammates.

The station says the videos were shot on the phones of two team members and were sent anonymously to the station in June. Williams, who has since been removed from his position, told the Denver Post that the video was taken out of context.

But it emerged soon after that he was fired from another school position last year for doing the exact same thing. School coach filmed forcing crying cheerleader into splits will not face charges

The East High School principal, an assistant principal, the cheer coach, an assistant cheer coach and a district lawyer were placed on leave during the investigation, Boasberg said.

Williams was also placed on administrative leave prior to being fired.

Authorities said there was insufficient evidence to warrant the execution of charges against him.

How much evidence do they need? They have her statement (other cheerleaders as well I'd hope), her medical information and a video.

Schools will protect their coaches to an absurd degree. I wouldn't be surprised the coach will be back in his original position once this whole thing dies down.

Another aspect of sports culture that plagues America.

Also, isn't there some protection or other level they can go to if local authorities just say fuck it?

Pretty sure a principle or superintendent also lost their job. I saw something on this the other day and it seemed like a big part of the problem was that the school knew this was going on and even saw the video but brushed it aside until it got pushed out to the media.

It always struck me as odd when I was in school how most people working there didn't seem to give the slightest fuck about kids. A few young teachers did but everyone else couldn't seem to care less about students

They sure cared about the sports teams and their accomplishments though, whew

Shouldn't the mother be equally upset that her daughter wants to be a cheerleader but is too lazy to do the work to do the splits? In all honestly, being able to do the splits should be minimal physical conditioning for that sport.

It's not the kind of thing you can do on command the very first time, there is a lot of training required to be able to do something like that.
