Horrible case in Finland

This seems to be growing into a truly disgusting case.

Like we reported on May 3 ('Taekwondo teacher remanded') , a well known Finnish taekwondo coach was under suspicion in what is alledged to be a massive sexual abuse case.

The taekwondo coach in Uleaaborg, Finland has now been charged with 799 (!) cases of sexual abuse.

According to the newspaper Politiken, the charges involve rape and attempted rape towards female students of taekwondo in the northern part of Finland.

Most of the victims are 16 or 17 of age, but some was reportedly younger. The sexual abuse cases occurred between 1997 and 2005 in several parts of the country.
