    BEND, Ore. (KOIN) — The owner of a Portland martial arts studio accused of sodomizing a child under 12 committed suicide in the Deschutes County Jail.

    Eben Kaneshiro was found unresponsive in his cell shortly after 3 a.m., the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office said. Emergency life saving efforts began immediately, but Kaneshiro did not survive.


    Eben Kaneshiro has owned the New Breed Jiu Jitsu Academy in Southeast Portland since 2007. It now has a “closed” sign after his arrest on sex charges involving a minor boy, April 22, 2015 (KOIN 6 News)

    The 35-year-old was the owner of New Breed Jiu Jitsu Academy on SE Foster and 92nd Avenue. He was charged with sex abuse and sodomy stemming from an incident that happened overnight on April 18-19, Deschutes County District Attorney John Hummel said.

    “He had inappropriate sexual conduct with a child under the age of 12,” he said, and added the alleged incident happened just outside Sisters.

    The boy is known to Kaneshiro, Hummel said. “We don’t know of any other victims but the investigation is continuing.”

    Kaneshiro was due in court on Monday.

    Suicide note indicates more victims by Portland martial arts instructor accused of sex abuse
    By David Stabler | The Oregonian/OregonLive
    on April 27, 2015 at 9:51 PM, updated April 28, 2015 at 11:23 AM

    Before he killed himself in jail, Sunday, a Southeast Portland martial arts instructor left a note telling detectives where to find information on "numerous" other victims in the Portland area.

    Eben Kaneshiro, 35, was arrested last week for child sex abuse in Deschutes County. He hanged himself in his jail cell early Sunday morning. He was charged last week with three counts of first-degree sodomy and three counts of first-degree sexual abuse involving a boy in Deschutes County. He was being held in lieu of $500,000 bail.

    Kaneshiro, the owner of New Breed Jiu-Jitsu, a martial arts gym at 9213 S.E. Foster Road, left "numerous notes" said John Hummel, Deschutes County District Attorney. "Some were for family members, but one particular note he left for detectives involved in his case indicated additional victims. He didn't name the victims, but he said, 'Here's where you can look' to find information about them."

    Hummel passed the information to Portland Police detectives, he said, because Kaneshiro's note indicated the victims lived in the Portland area.

    Officials said Kaneshiro was found unconscious in his cell at about 3 a.m. Sunday. An autopsy on Monday confirmed he died of asphyxiation due to hanging, Hummel said.

    The Deschutes boy is believed to be Kaneshiro's only victim in that county, Hummel said.

    He praised the boy for coming forward. "That young man is responsible for protecting numerous other kids around the state. We're really proud of him."
    Creepy from every angle.

    Was his honor somewhat restored by admitting to the other crimes he committed?

    I would venture to say that was his attempt but failed by taking the "easy" way out

    Barry Hartshorn

    Slashing someone with a machete? Burning another with an iron? And now this? I don't think a reference from a martial arts studio would help at all in this case.
    Martial arts man 'beat the living daylights' out of girlfriend for wearing dress and no knickers
    By Plymouth Herald | Posted: May 06, 2015
    By Stuart Abel


    Barry Hartshorn

    A THUG has been jailed for “beating the living daylights” out of his girlfriend as she lay in bed – after falsely accusing her of having an affair.

    Martial arts instructor Barry Hartshorn, aged 27, repeatedly struck the woman, leaving the woman’s face cut and badly bruised and splattering the room with blood,

    Jailing him for a total of 11 months, Recorder Robert Linford told him: “Because you believed your partner had been messing around behind your back you beat the living daylights out of her.

    “It has to be said you are a violent man. You have an appalling record which includes some quite sickening offences.”

    Plymouth Crown Court heard that the former drug dealer was jailed for three years in 2008 for slashing a teenager with a machete and burning another with a hot iron.

    Hartshorn, of Hanover Court, the Barbican, pleaded guilty to assaulting the woman causing actual bodily harm on February 1.

    A university student working part-time in a pizza chain, he admitted being in breach of a suspended prison sentence for a previous offence of common assault against the same woman.

    Sally Daulton, for the Crown Prosecution Service, said Hartshorn went to the woman’s room and accused her of having an affair during a row.

    The court heard he punched her once to the face and slapped her with the back of his hand several times.

    Mrs Daulton said he grabbed the woman by her hair as she tried to escape the room.

    She added she needed three stitches beneath her eye and her face was badly bruised.

    Mrs Daulton said police found blood all over the bed, on the floor, on the wall and even on items on shelves.

    The woman said in a statement that the student had mental health problems and she believed he needed help.

    The court heard she denied having an affair and now accepts that the relationship is over.

    Geoff Parlby, for Hartshorn, said he had “snapped”.

    He added: “He is very regretful and accepts full responsibility for his loss of control.”

    Mr Parlby said he lashed out because he saw that she was lying under the bed clothes wearing a party dress but no underwear.

    He added that he did not accept that he had mental health problems and was studying a sports degree at university.

    Mr Parlby said that he accepted the relationship was over and he would move away and try and resume his studies and find work elsewhere.

    He handed a reference into court from a gym where Hartshorn helps with martial arts instruction.

    Recorder Linford jailed him for eight months for his latest offence, plus three months for the earlier assault made subject to the suspended sentence.

    Plymouth Crown Court heard in 2008 that Hartshorn tortured two teenagers over a £195 drug debt. One man was cut at the knees with a machete and the other was burnt with a hot iron to his hands.

    Hideto Yata, Naoya Inoue, and a 19-year-old

    Three held for physical abuse of fellow martial arts club member at Osaka school
    Kyodo May 11, 2015

    OSAKA – Three male students involved in the Japanese martial arts club at Osaka University of Commerce have been arrested for alleged physical abuse of a fellow club member, police said.

    According to the Osaka Prefectural Police, both Hideto Yata, 21, a former captain of the martial arts club, and a 19-year-old former club member were arrested Sunday on charges of assault and coercion.

    The third person arrested was former club member Naoya Inoue, 20, who was charged with assault and other violations, the police said.

    All three have been suspended from the university indefinitely.

    Police are also questioning two other club members — one 21 years old and the other 19.

    The university’s martial arts club was the runner-up in the men’s group competition category at last year’s All-Japan Intercollegiate Martial Art Championship.

    Yata is suspected of instructing club members to inflict violence on the 19-year-old victim at a college facility between March 6 and 8.

    The victim, a freshman at the time, had his face shoved in a bathtub and was head-butted, investigators said. He was also forced to remove all his clothing and chug down drinks, according to investigators, who noted that the alleged abusers also scribbled graffiti on the student’s back and tried to burn his back with a lighter.

    Yata has told police that the series of acts was to discipline the victim, who he described as rebellious. While Yata has admitted to the charges, the other suspects have partially denied involvement, the police said.

    Osaka University of Commerce, a private university located in the city of Higashiosaka, released a statement saying it regrets the incidents and will work to ensure similar incidents don’t occur.
    Sounds more like hazing than disciplinary actions. The back burning really crosses the line.

    Tunisia beach killer trained with museum gunmen
    Authorities find links between the two assaults as all three attackers were together at a jihadi camp in LibyaBY BOUAZZA BEN BOUAZZA AND ANDREA ROSA July 1, 2015, 2:37 am 1


    The Islamic State releases a picture online it says is of the Tunisian gunman who mowed down at least 37 people, most of them tourists, on June 26, 2015 at a beach resort in Sousse, Tunisia. He was named as Seifeddine Yacoubi, 23, from Kairouan, also known as Abu Yahya Qayrawani by IS. Authorities later named him as Seifedinne RezguiNEWSROOM

    TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) — The student who massacred tourists in a Tunisian seaside resort trained in a jihadi camp in Libya at the same time as the two men who attacked a leading museum in March, a top security official said Tuesday, enforcing the notion of a link between the two assaults and raising fears of more attacks from an underground world clawing at this North African nation’s budding democracy.

    Investigators were searching nationwide for accomplices in the attack that killed 38 tourists and questioning a handful recently detained.

    “It has been confirmed that the attacker trained in Libya with weapons at the same period as the Bardo attackers,” said Rafik Chelli, the secretary of state for the Interior Ministry. “He crossed the borders secretly.”

    Chelli said Seifeddine Rezgui, a 24-year-old who obtained a Master degree in electrical engineering, left his studies at Kairouan University and sneaked into the western Libyan town of Sabratha in January — when the two young men who carried out the museum attack in Tunis were there.

    Sabratha, the site of Roman ruins, is one of several places in chaotic Libya where radical groups have training camps. The Islamic State, which has a strong Libyan presence, claimed responsibility for the beach resort attack.

    There has been no previous indication that Rezgui had left Tunisia.

    Rezgui has been portrayed as a good student. He received his one-year Masters degree, at one point liked break dancing and even getting a certificate, and practicing Kung Fu, according to a person with knowledge of the investigation. The person was not authorized to speak publicly and asked not to be identified.

    A fellow student in Kairouan, Saidi Fedi, 25, described him as a model of magnanimity — but a member of the student branch of Ansar al Sharia, an Islamist group,

    “Seif participated in the meetings … on a lower level. He was not one of the leaders,” Feidi said in an interview, referring to the university’s Islamic Youth group.

    “He was the least radical of the group in which he was active. He was one who took part in the debates, and he accepted different views. He didn’t argue aggressively,” Feidi said. “He didn’t answer with anger” when debating with students who supported the Syrian government. “He didn’t do anything that could give us a clue.”

    The head of post-graduate Institute for Applied Sciences and Technology, attended by the attacker expressed equal shock.

    “We informed the police so they could be sure of his identity and personal data,” said Karim Ben Elgharat. “We didn’t see anything strange about him. He was a good and assiduous student.”

    The invisibility of the attacker, like those who carried out the Bardo attack, is for Tunisia and elsewhere, the biggest challenge in preventing terrorism.

    The spokesman for the Interior Ministry, Mohamed Ali Aroui, said it was not immediately clear whether Rezgui trained in the same group as the Bardo attackers or whether they were linked to the Islamic State organization.

    But the presence of radical groups in Libya increases the threat level to its Tunisian neighbor, as does the approaching end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and its “night of destiny,” which falls in mid-July this year.

    It is a night that holds risks, said the person with knowledge of the investigation.

    The “night of destiny” is considered a propitious time for good actions, which for jihadis means killings, said Mathieu Guidere, an Islamic scholar at the University of Toulouse.

    Tunisia has struggled since its 2011 revolution to maintain the fragile democracy it has managed to put in place — the only one to emerge from the Arab Spring uprisings. At the same time, it is has seen the highest number of its citizens, some 3,000, head to Syria and Iraq to fight with radical jihadi groups, including the Islamic State group. They usually travel via Libya, getting training on the way. Increasingly, they have trained there before returning to carry out attacks in Tunisia. Tunisia’s most well-known Islamic radical Seifallah Ben Hassine, fled to Libya in 2013 taking many supporters with him into exile.

    Guidere, who tracks Islamist groups, cited the Soldiers of the Caliphate of Tunisia, a recent group linked to the Islamic State group, as the most likely suspect behind the Sousse attack. It claimed responsibility for the Bardo Museum attack. The small group, he said, is made up of some of the 400 to 500 returnees from Syria and Iraq.

    There has been criticism of the government’s handling of security, especially since tourists had clearly become a target after the museum attackers killed 22 people in March.

    President Beji Caid Essebsi revealed Tuesday morning that heightened security measures had been scheduled to be put in place just days after the beach attack.

    “It is not a perfect system — it is true we were surprised by this affair,” he told France’s Europe 1 radio. “They took measures for the month of Ramadan but they never thought the attack would be on the beaches against tourists and the system of protection was set to start July 1.”

    Armed tourist police are to be stationed at hotels and army reservists called up in a bid to staunch damage to the vital tourism industry — a lifeline for the Sousse region.

    At least 25 of the victims were British in the approximately half-hour rampage from the beach through the hotel, according to the latest figures from Tunisia’s Ministry of Health. The ministry said 33 of the 38 victims have now been identified, also including 3 Irish, 2 Germans, a Belgian, a Portuguese and a Russian.

    The fury of the attack was evident days later. A trail of blood from escaping tourists ran along the sidewalk to the gate of a hotel down the road. The caked pool of blood where the attacker was gunned down near a bend in the road was intact and the white walls lining the street were pocked with bullets.

    Friday’s attack was not the first in a hotel in Sousse. Two years ago, a gunman with a suicide belt strapped around him assaulted a beach hotel in the downtown area, but killed only himself.

    Mesa bookkeeper admits stealing $1.6M for son's martial arts studio
    Robert Anglen, The Republic | azcentral.com 9:50 p.m. MST July 11, 2015
    Embezzlement by Mesa bookkeeper


    (Photo: Getty Images/Creatas RF)
    Story Highlights

    A bookkeeper who stole $1.6M from a Mesa medical company will be charged with one count of tax evasion as part of plea agreement
    Deanna Frader faces a maximum 37 months in prison in deal that will require her to make full restitution to her employer and repay $497,000 to the IRS
    Frader admitted to using the money to bankroll a Mesa martial arts studio she owned with her son

    A Mesa bookkeeper who embezzled $1.6 million that helped fund her son's martial-arts studio will plead guilty to a single count of tax evasion as part of a plea deal.

    Federal authorities have agreed to drop 47 of 48 charges against Deanna Frader, who admitted writing checks to herself while employed as office manager of Ardent Sound Inc., a Mesa-based ultrasound imaging company.

    Frader told authorities she wrote $43,603 worth of checks to herself, $786,812 to a company she created and $708,311 to a related business account from 2008 to 2012, when she left the company.

    Authorities say Frader cooked the company's books and fabricated a loan agreement between herself and the Ardent's president, forging his signature, to hide the theft.

    They say she used some of the money to pay her personal bills and living expenses. Records show she plowed the rest of it into a martial-arts studio she operated with her son called Kaizen Martial Arts Academy in Mesa, which is now closed.

    Officials with Ardent could not be reached for comment Friday.

    Ardent, founded in 1994, runs laboratories and prototype facilities. Its website bills the company as an industry leader in research, development and manufacture of diagnostic ultrasound imaging products and technologies.

    Frader set up two checking accounts for the martial-arts academy, where she moved about half of the stolen money, court documents show. She also used money to pay the academy's rent, which averaged about $14,756 a month over four years.

    Frader's son, Derek Frader, was not named in the indictment. Records show he is now a master instructor at East West Karate in Mesa, which opened in 2014. Deanna Frader was the only person listed in East West's corporation documents when the company was formed, records show.

    Neither Deanna Frader nor Derek Frader could be reached for comment Friday.

    U.S. District Court records show Deanna Frader filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2010, asking the court to dissolve her debts. She told the court that she had about $410,000 in liabilities and $162,000 in assets.

    She claimed to have a monthly income of $3,800 and expenses of $4,635. At the same time she filed bankruptcy, she had stolen hundreds of thousands of dollars, records show.

    The accounts and the companies Frader used to hide the stolen money were not listed in her bankruptcy, which records show was closed in 2012. The bankruptcy was not mentioned in the indictment.

    Internal Revenue Service agents arrested Frader in February. She initially was charged with 35 counts of mail fraud, four counts of tax evasion and one count of identity theft.

    Authorities said Frader didn't pay any taxes on the money she stole and consequently underpaid her federal income taxes in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2012, for a total of $497,763.

    "I willfully failed to include these embezzled amounts as income on those returns, knowing that this would result in the underpayment of income taxes due," Frader said in the plea agreement.

    As part of her deal, Frader pleaded guilty only to the 2010 tax evasion charge.

    A tax evasion charge carries a maximum five-year prison sentence, $100,000 fine and five years' probation. But under terms of the agreement, Frader faces no more than 37 months in prison.

    Frader also agreed to repay $1.6 million to Ardent and $497,763 to the IRS.

    She is scheduled to be sentenced Sept. 28.

    40 years for child porn

    Posted 9:35 AM
    Updated at 9:35 AM
    Former Augusta martial-arts instructor loses court bid in child porn case

    The Maine Supreme Judicial Court ruled against Wade Hoover, who was claiming he should not face state indictment on 13 counts of gross sexual assault.

    The state supreme court ruled this week that Wade Hoover, who was sentenced to 40 years in federal prison for producing and possessing child pornography, is also subject to state level charges for similar crimes.

    Hoover, through his attorney, had argued that he should not have to face state indictment on 13 counts of gross sexual assault, claiming it constituted double jeopardy. Double jeopardy bars “multiple punishments for the same offense,” according to the law court decision.


    Hoover

    However, the Maine Supreme Judicial Court ruled Tuesday that the double jeopardy exception did not apply.

    “Contrary to Hoover’s argument, there is no evidence of a ‘sham’ prosecution here, nor is there evidence that the state prosecutors acted merely as ‘tools’ of the federal prosecutors,” the justices wrote.

    Kennebec/Somerset District Maeghan Maloney handled the appeal for the state, and wrote in an email that she is pleased with the decision.

    “I appreciate this decision for the opposite would have forced shorter investigations and a rush to indictment,” she wrote. “It is important for the state to be able to pursue charges of gross sexual assault even when the person has already plead guilty to production of child pornography. I argued that they are different crimes and the person needs to have both on his record.”

    At his sentencing in federal court in 2013, Judge John A. Wood**** Jr. described Hoover’s conduct as masochistic and sadistic and included violence.

    “It is hard for me to find words to describe your conduct in this case because your conduct is simply unspeakable,” Wood**** said. “You have not merely violated the law, you violated the most basic moral code in society. You preyed upon young boys when they were vulnerable.”

    Hoover was a martial-arts instructor in Augusta, and will spend the remainder of his life under supervision of federal authorities.

    This story will be updated.

    Raymond Shawdee

    If this article said BJJ instead of just JJ, I would have posted this in Busted-MMA-fighters-and-fights.

    RAYMOND SHAWDEE
    Salem officer fires shot at local martial arts instructor he thought was armed
    By JAMES A. KIMBLE
    Union Leader Correspondent

    SALEM — A local jiu-jitsu coach was shot at by a police officer and arrested outside a martial arts studio after police were told he was possibly armed and threatened a utility worker who was trying to shut off the power to the studio.

    Raymond Shawdee, 31, of Nashua was charged with reckless conduct and criminal threatening after a tense confrontation with Salem police on Tuesday morning.

    The face-off between Shawdee and police happened outside 286 North Broadway, which houses a martial arts studio and a local cross-fit gym. Police were called at 10:42 a.m. and told that a Liberty Utility worker had been threatened by a man believed to be armed with a handgun. He allegedly told the utility worker, that "he would do what he had to do to keep the power on."

    Police later learned that Shawdee did not have a firearm.

    Salem police Lt. Joel Dolan said that when officers arrived at the business, there were two people on the scene.

    "We see one person who ultimately begins to comply with our orders of getting down on the ground and another person who is walking away from us," Dolan said. "As we are engaging that guy, he spins and his hands are at his torso. The officer made a split-second decision and felt he was holding onto a gun. He fired one round."

    The shot missed.

    Dolan said the man walking away from police was identified as Shawdee. He was immediately taken into custody once police determined that he was not armed.

    The other man, who owns the local cross-fit gym and complied with police officer's orders, was found to be legally carrying a firearm in a side holster, according to Dolan.

    The gun was "never brandished," Dolan said.

    Police interviewed Shawdee on Tuesday afternoon at the police station. He was later released of $5,000 cash bail.

    Dolan said Shawdee placed himself in danger by not complying with police officers.

    "He exercised some very poor judgment," Dolan said. "By refusing to listen to our verbal commands, he escalated the situation to where it ended up."

    Derick Lee

    Martial Arts Instructor, 50, Sentenced To Prison For Sexually Abusing 3 Teens In El Monte
    September 10, 2015 5:00 PM


    (credit: Thinkstock)

    LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — A 50-year-old Temple City man was sentenced Thursday to nearly four years in state prison for sexually abusing three teenage girls in El Monte.

    The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office announced that Derick Lee pleaded guilty to three counts: sexual penetration by foreign object, lewd act upon a child and child molesting.

    In addition to a three years and eight months prison sentence, LA County Superior Court Commissioner Wade Olson also ordered Lee to register as a sex offender for life.

    Deputy DA Kelsey McKeever-Unger said, at the time of the crimes, Lee was a martial arts instructor at Elite Kung Fu in El Monte.

    Between July 2014 and April 2015, Lee sexually assaulted and inappropriately touched three students, all teens.

    In April 2015, one of the victims revealed to authorities that Lee had sexually abused her. El Monte Police began an investigation into her account and learned there were two additional victims.

    Lee was subsequently arrested and charged.
    Wonder how well his Kung Fu will work in the joint.
