Weren't they just voted best martial arts studio in Burke?

Also, concerning is that the first victim reported her complaint a year ago and the public was just notified.

Nellie, this is creepy. Hope Derek was not attending any of this stuff!

I think it's interesting that within this article there is a link to a 5-start review of the studio, still posted with no highly profiled caveat.

I was at the shopping center when they went into the studio in October - must have been 8 police taking things out, knew there was something up!!

Extremely shocked that he continued to have contact with kids and training them yesterday as well as "busienss as usual". onder after such a strong and severe charges, why is he still allowed to have contact with kids? Eventhough not guilty until proven, shall parents continue to put kids at risk while this case takes time to get resolved? Hope justice system sees something.

Because the charges are not as strong and severe as it might appear. If they were, the police would not let him have contact with children. Also, only one of the alleged incidents involved someone under 18. Yes I would put my kids there, but that's just me. There is potential danger anywhere and in my opinion he is not a significant threat.

Ree you need to wake up. Yes Mater Phan Le was perhaps very highl profiled athlete but what he is charged wIth tarnishes his reputation. I am sure that police or FBI are not visiting or collecting evidences or investigating beCause he is innocent. Yes it is yet to be provEn at the court of justice. Now knowing that someone is charges with improper contact with minors or owning tons of child pornography. Many pare
Nts trusted him and allowed him to instill disciplined lifestyle on kids. He broke trust. I am not sure knowing it all, a parent will hand over another kid for him to be in contact with. Sad to see
Such business being charged and hope justice prevails and if he found guilty, seNt behind the bar.

Wish Burke patch and other news could publish what did court order? Can he be in contact with kids, travel with kids to tournaments and continue to coach?

Thank you Ree for believing in the court system, and hoping that this man is innocent. I too, hope he is. Mainly because I would hate to imagine what happened to the victims if he is guilty. This was obviously an ongoing investigation for a long time. Long enough for the police to find a second victim. stumbling across CHILD pornography doesn't help this man much either. Two accusations and more evidence is a lot of coincidence. So your mother having porn on her computer isn't really that bad, you're right. But having 3 counts of CHILD porn and 4 counts of indecent liberties with a minor, would make even a 100yr old look VERY guilty, and definitely suspicious enough for any smart parent to think twice about where to sen their kids.

@ A concerned parent....You seem to know a lot about this place, information about classes, when they are going to move, where they are, providing information to everyone so as to pass judgment. I wouldn't be so surprised that you are a parent at that location. You're in a state of denial and need to follow your beliefs. If you feel that this isn't the place for you or your child then you should leave, whether our justice system prevails to proving he is guilty, or not, You've provide proof who you really are. Cause truly, if you kept showing up to this location with your child, and receiving all of this information, then you're no good as a parent yourself. If you feel it isn't a safe haven then stay home, or go to another martial arts school. There are a lot of them out there. Hopefully you can do a back ground check on the next one. Just a suggestion not a sermon.

Reminds me of when Ward Edmonds from Springfield was busted for chasing jail bait during his Congressional campaign. The charges proved to be bogus.

4 Runner: thanks. I am, fortunately, not a parent at this place but was considering to move here. Did get to meet him on few occasions. Perhaps no one knew such a "creepy" behavior existed within this group of people who respect and expect high performance by our little kids. My only concerns (if any) is he continues to teach it to kids.....double face...
