Gran Canaria - 30.07.2010 - Fernando Baena is to stand trial on multiple counts of forcing pupils at the prestigious school, which has produced several Spanish and European karate champions, to take part in sex sessions with adult staff. His partner and another female instructor at the school are also to stand trial for the offences. Police say Baena regularly invited the youngsters to his home for extra training but used them for filmed sex. Almost one hundred former pupils are expected to give evidence at the trial.
