Cobb martial arts instructor arrested on child molestation charge
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
An instructor at a Cobb County martial arts school has been arrested for allegedly having a sexual relationship with an underage student.
A juvenile female told Cobb police "that she began a relationship with her Tae Kwon Do instructor," police spokesman Mike Bowman said.
He said that according to the girl, the relationship evolved into a sexual relationship with incidents occurring at Shim's Martial Arts Academy of Tae Kwon Do on East Piedmont Road and at the Roswell home of the instructor, Young Jin Shim.
On Wednesday, detectives arrested Shim, 32, and charged him with aggravated child molestation, Bowman said.
Shim, 32, is being held without bond in the Cobb County Adult Detention Center.
