Martial Arts Studio Owner Accused of Having Sex With Teen

RENTON (AP) The owner of a martial arts studio in suburban Seattle has been accused of having sexual relations with a 15-year-old student and sending inappropriate photos of himself to two other teen girls.

KCPQ-TV reports a judge determined Thursday there was enough evidence for the case against Robert Morrison to proceed. The 42-year-old waived his right to appear at the probable cause hearing after his Wednesday arrest.

Police say Morrison sent naked pictures of himself to the girls and eventually persuaded one girl to have sex with him.

Court documents allege Morrison had sex with the teen at his Bellevue home and at his martial arts studios in Renton and Maple Valley.

Morrison's attorney told the judge his client isn't seeking bail.

He will remain jailed until his next hearing.
