A Brazilian martial arts instructor accused of lewd acts against four boys, including three students, could face a jury as soon as next month after not waiving his right to a speedy trial on nine charges.
The 25-year-old man pleaded not guilty Friday to one felony and eight misdemeanors. He has already sped his trial considerably by previously foregoing a preliminary hearing on the evidence and moving straight into Superior Court
On Friday, he was ordered back to court on March 6 for a pre-trial conference and March 19 for a jury trial on charges including contributing to the delinquency of a minor, annoying a child under 18, sexual battery and lewd and lascivious behavior.
