Karate Instructor Faces Sex Charges
The Orange County district attorney’s office filed two charges of child molestation Tuesday against a Tustin karate-studio owner on suspicion of molesting several of his students, Tustin police said.
John Duff Bracy, 34, who is also an instructor at his Hsing Chen Martial Arts Studio in the 400 block of El Camino Real, has been charged with the molestation of two youths, ages 15 and 17, a police spokesman said.
“The investigation is continuing, as it has been determined that there have been multiple victims (at the martial arts studio) over an extended period of time,” the spokesman said.
Bracy is being held in County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bail.
