Alleged rape

The Philippine Karatedo Federation is conducting its own investigation on the alleged rape case filed by a female athlete against her coach/instructor in Cebu City.

PKF president Ed Ponce said yesterday that he has just learned of the incident from a friend in Cebu, but promised to personally lead an investigative panel to look into the merits of the case and help the victim get the justice she deserves.

Sketchy reports received by the Philippine Olympic Committee, through text and e-mailed messages, claimed that the 19-year-old karateka, a consistent medalist in local tournaments, was allegedly sexually abused by her trainor.
