All staff members from the principal to custodians at Miramonte Elementary School in southeast Los Angeles will be replaced, reported KABC-TV.

A second teacher has been arrested in connection with horrifying abuse allegations at the Los Angeles school where an alleged child abuser carried out sick acts on students for decades.

Martin Springer, a 49-year-old teacher at Miramonte Elementary School in south east Los Angeles, was arrested on Friday after two seven-year-old students allegedly made accusations to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
