A disturbing incident has unfolded at a Poinciana middle school involving an assistant principal and a young student, leading to the arrest of 53-year-old Dr. Keiva Lark. Charged with lewd and lascivious conduct, Lark's behavior has been both condemned and characterized as "abhorrent" by the Polk County Public Schools Superintendent, ClickOrlando.com reported. According to authorities, the assistant principal of Lake Marion Creek Middle School was arrested on allegations that included making the 13-year-old student massage her feet and calling him "Sexy Chocolate."
The ordeal started when the student, who reportedly threw a balled-up piece of paper during a test, was sent to Lark's office. There, witnesses and the victim state Lark coerced the boy into a massage because he didn’t have anything better to do with his hands, placing her legs across his lap. Referring to the act, according to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office Facebook post, Lark crossed a line, scolding the boy for not rubbing her feet correctly and demonstrating her desired technique by touching his arm and shoulder. A co-worker heard a directive from Lark to the student to rub her feet like he loved her, and a troubling remark was meant to illustrate what foreplay is.
Superintendent Fred Heid immediately responded to the situation, praising the school principal for their prompt reporting of the incident, which enabled a swift partnership with the Polk County Sheriff’s Office to ensure student safety. After the incident, the school board and relevant child welfare authorities were notified. Dr. Lark has since been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.
