OSCEOLA COUNTY—A Kissimmee karate instructor who was arrested in August on charges of having sex with one of his students faces new charges, including sexual battery of a child younger than 12, a capital offense.
Bradley Robert Knight, 36, who is in the Osceola County Jail, is additionally charged with 210 counts of lewd and lascivious molestation, two counts of lewd and lascivious conduct, and one count of showing or distributing obscene material to a minor.
Investigators from the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office continue to interview suspected victims who have come forward since Knight’s original arrest in August, when a parent reported a sexual relationship between Knight and a teenage girl, officials said.
Knight owns Tigers’ Den Karate-Do Academy at 980 E. Carroll St., where the alleged victims were students, investigators said.
The instructor has been in jail since Oct. 4, when he was arrested for the second time. He is being held without bail.
