Karate Instructor Accused Of Sexual Assault In Parsippany: Report

PARSIPPANY, NJ — A Parsippany martial arts teacher has been accused of sexually assaulting a child, the Daily Record reported.

Srinivasa R. Koppisetti, 53, was arrested in July and charged with sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child. He is accused of touching the child on four separate occasions, and forcing the child to touch him while working at Universal Martial Arts and Yoga Academy, the report says.
