Guilt And Anger

New Zealand -- A 50-year-old Masterton martial arts teacher has been jailed for sexual offences against a girl who had been one of his pupils. The man pleaded guilty to the five charges relating to a nine-year-old girl nearly 20 years ago, according to stuff.co.nz.

The judge said the man ran a martial arts center that the girl had attended and he came to know her family. Through the family contact she sometimes stayed at his house and the offending began there.

The victim is now in her 20s and the guilt and anger about what happened had blighted her life, the judge said.
