Washington -- A 45-year-old former Yakima karate instructor has been convicted of two counts of second-degree molestation of a 13-year-old girl. He was initially hit with child rape charges.
The jury had to settle for the lesser charge to avoid deadlocking. A female juror apparently struggled with the idea that an older man could have raped a 13-year-old.
(My comment: Is this woman for real, or simply plain stupid? Wow, what an idiot...)
The man was accused of fondling and abusing the girl in 2002 at the Yakima karate school, where the girl was a student.
In two other pending cases, he is accused of possessing explicit pictures of two teenage girls who were between 14 and 16 years old at the time, according to yakima-herald.com.
