More 'sue-do'

The case of a 56-year-old martial arts instructor convicted of sexually assaulting one of his students now has legal implications for both the town and its school district.

Both have received notices of intent to sue on behalf of the victim of the man, who taught at both the community center and at Newmarket Junior/Senior High School before he was charged last year with felonious sexual assault and child pornography involving a then-14-year-old girl.

The crimes for which he's already been sentenced occurred in the course of about a year, according to court documents, beginning in May 2004, about two weeks after the victim confided in him about some family issues. It continued until May 26, 2005, a day before the victim's mother discovered sexually explicit text messages from the man on her daughter's cell phone and notified police.
