Karate Teacher Faces New Abuse Charges

POSTED: Monday, October 16, 2006
UPDATED: 12:53 pm EDT October 16, 2006

A 36-year-old karate teacher in Kissimmee, Fla., who was recently re-arrested on suspicion he molested a student in his class, faces new charges, Local 6 News has learned.

Investigators said Bradley R. Knight, the chief instructor and owner of the Tigers Den Karate-Do Academy located on East Carroll Street in Kissimmee was arrested in August and accused of having sex with a female student.

Knight was taken into custody again last week when a girl under 12 years old told deputies that he had exposed himself to her. The girl said he also inappropriately touched her.

Monday, Osceola County deputies said more victims have come forward with abuse allegations.

Knight faces more than 210 charges of lewd and lascivious molestation.

Some adults have also come forward with allegations of sexual abuse against Knight dating back 11 years ago at the academy, Local 6 News has learned. However, since the statute of limitations has run out, he cannot be charged with the alleged crimes.

So far, all of the victims have been young women, the report said.

Investigators are still asking anyone with information about the cases involving Knight or any new possible cases to contact the Osceola County Sheriff's Office.

Knight remains in the Osceola County Jail without bond.
