Five employees at a high school in Denver are on administrative leave after videos surfaced showing several cheerleaders being forced into painful splits — sometimes as the teens repeatedly screamed, “Please stop!”

Ally Wakefield, a 13-year-old incoming freshman cheerleader at East High School, can be seen in one 24-second clip being forcefully held down by four people — three teammates and newly hired cheerleading coach Ozell Williams, KUSA reports. Police in Denver also are investigating the videos, which were sent anonymously to the station earlier this month.

“Please stop, please stop, please stop!” a pained Wakefield screams as several teammates hold her down as Williams stands behind her.

Wakefield asked Williams and her teammates to stop a total of nine times during the recording. In all, the station received a total of eight videos with “similar screams of pain” from different girls on the team. The disturbing footage has led to five school employees being placed on administrative leave: Williams, principal Andy Mendelsberg, assistant principal Lisa Porter, assistant cheerleading coach Mariah Cladis and an attorney for Denver Public Schools.

“This is standard practice in an investigation of this type,” Superintendent Tom Boasberg said in a statement posted on the school’s website. “It does not imply or prejudge in any way the actions of the individuals or what the investigation might determine.”

Boasberg said school officials will be “extremely limited” as to what they’re allowed to discuss as the investigation unfolds, but insisted that the focus at the school will remain on education and the overall safety of its 2,500 students.

“Finally, we want to reiterate our commitment to the safety of our students,” Boasberg’s statement continued. “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.”

Wakefield’s father, Eric Wakefield, told The Post that he’s been unable to sleep since the videos surfaced and claimed his daughter is being cyberbullied by classmates, teammates and even strangers in connection to the video. He also claimed that Williams threatened to kick anyone off the team if footage or information related to the team’s practices got leaked.

“My No. 1 priority is my daughter’s health,” Eric Wakefield said Thursday, adding that he’s considering legal action against the school, particularly if his daughter needs counseling in the aftermath of the incident.

The videos were shot on a cellphone by two members of the cheerleading squad. School administrators have had access to at least one of the videos since June, according to KUSA.

Wakefield’s mother, meanwhile, sent Porter an email in June asking her about the footage and told the assistant principal that her daughter injured her leg as a result of what happened on the video.

“My husband and I would like to know what the administration is going to do about my daughter’s injury and how it happened,” the email from Kirsten Wakefield read.

Another mother contacted by the station said her daughter quit the team after being forced into splits in the same fashion.

“That made me sick to my stomach,” Cheri Nickolay told the local NBC affiliate. “I don’t know how you could justify that.”
