The thing that bugs me about the story though is the press making it out to be about martial arts. It's statutory rape - period.
Send him on down. I have some "community service" in mind. My students need the practice.
Police officer who sexually abused girls ending up in jail? Wow...NYC officer charged with raping karate student
(AP) — A New York City police officer has been charged with raping a teen student at his martial arts school and led her to believe it was part of the program, police said Friday.
Middletown police said Trent Young, 39, began having sex with the 15-year-old girl in 2005. The girl told police she'd been a student at Iron Tiger Martial Arts in West Milford, N.J. for a year when Young asked her to sign an oath of obedience.
She told police that Young made her take off her clothes as part of the oath, and then sexually abused her. She said he then told her to get dressed and that the encounter was part of a test.
Young then began a sexual relationship with the girl, leading her to believe it was part of the karate school's program, police said.
Investigators said Young told a second 15-year-old to take off her clothes as part of her obedience oath, but she refused.
There was no answer at Iron Tiger Martial Arts Friday, no phone number was available for Young and police were not sure who is representing him in court. The New York City Police Department declined comment Friday.
Young, who also teaches karate at his home, was arrested Thursday on his way to work and charged with felony counts of second- and third-degree rape, police said. He was free on bail Friday.
I'll stop right there and leave the rest to your imagination.
