CAMAS, Wash. - A high school principal in Washington state is on administrative leave for suggesting in a personal Facebook post that NBA superstar Kobe Bryant's death was deserved.

On the day Bryant died, Camas High School Principal Liza Sejkora wrote that “karma caught up with a rapist today.”

Bryant was accused of raping an employee at a Colorado resort in 2003.

Prosecutors dropped a sexual assault charge at the accuser's request.

Sejkora apologized and removed her post, but the Camas School District says it put her on leave Tuesday because of threats and community concern.

Bryant, his daughter and seven other people were killed in a helicopter crash.
