California -- Jurors in a Sutter County Superior Court trial were told how a judo instructor, charged with molesting two youths, had ninety-three photographs of naked boys on his laptop computer.
A witness said the 44-ear-old Yuba City resident "had a lot of kids around the house — mostly boys," according to appeal-democrat.com.
The defendant, who's work in judo included a camp in foothills, is facing four felony molestation charges involving boys who were under the age of 14 and involving his alleged acts between 2002 and 2004.
Update, June 19:
Appeal-democrat.com reports that the Yuba City judo instructor was convicted this morning in the sexual abuse of a preteen boy.
A jury found man guilty of four counts of child molestation. Each count carries a maximum five-year prison sentence. Sentencing is set for August 7.
Update, May 16 (2011):
It is being reported that the convicted Yuba City judo instructor had his 14-year prison sentence affirmed by an appellate court.
The appeal argued that a second boy should not have been allowed to testify at the trial, and that jurors did not agree unanimously on which specific act was behind each of four molestation charges. The appellate court rejected the arguments.
