Child molestation at Kumon Math & Reading Centers is a part of a bigger problem of crimes against children. Child sexual abuse is a form of child abuse in which a child is abused for the sexual gratification of an adult or older adolescent. It includes direct sexual contact, the adult or otherwise older person engaging indecent exposure (of the genitals, female nipples, etc.) to a child with intent to gratify their own sexual desires or to intimidate or groom the child, asking or pressuring a child to engage in sexual activities, displaying pornography to a child, or using a child to produce child pornography.Effects of child sexual abuse include guilt and self-blame, flashbacks, nightmares, insomnia, fear of things associated with the abuse (including objects, smells, places, doctor's visits, etc.), self-esteem issues, sexual dysfunction, chronic pain, addiction, self-injury, suicidal ideation, somatic complaints, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, other mental illnesses (including borderline personality disorder) propensity to re-victimization in adulthood, and physical injury to the child, among other problems. Victims of child sex abuse are over six times more likely to attempt suicide and eight times more likely to repeatedly attempt suicide. The abusers are also more likely to commit suicide. Much of the harm caused to victims becomes apparent years after the abuse happens.Sexual abuse by a family member is a form of incest, and results in more serious and long-term psychological trauma, especially in the case of parental incest.Approximately 15% to 25% of women and 5% to 15% of men were sexually abused when they were children. Most sexual abuse offenders are acquainted with their victims; approximately 30% are relatives of the child, most often fathers, uncles or cousins; around 60% are other acquaintances such as friends of the family, babysitters, or neighbors; strangers are the offenders in approximately 10% of child sexual abuse cases. Most child sexual abuse is committed by men; women commit approximately 14% of offenses reported against boys and 6% of offenses reported against girls. Most offenders who abuse pre-pubescent children are pedophiles; however, a small percentage do not meet the diagnostic criteria for child molesters.

Kumon centers are run by jerks. The program is out dated and patronized by Asians.
Kumon student, 13, who is a victim pleads in Bellflower court to give convicted molester (Kumon Instructor) 'what he deserves'
BELLFLOWER -- A 13-year-old molestation victim pleaded with a judge Monday to give the man who molested her "what he deserves."
"I'm not confident, I'm not comfortable socializing with anybody and it's hard to trust people, " said the girl, whose name was withheld because she is a victim of a sex crime.
Her statement came at the sentencing of her attacker, Frank Chung, a 63-year-old local man who molested her and allegedly two other girls at his Norwalk Kumon Math & Reading Center.
"I just want what he deserves, " the victim calmly but quietly told Bellflower Superior Court Judge Leland Tipton moments before Chung was sentenced to eight years in prison.
The 13-year-old victim is one of three girls who told authorities they were attacked by Chung at the Kumon Tutoring Center, and she was the first victim to come forward, said Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Detective Rudy Acevedo.
Chung was arrested Sept. 8, and charged with lewd acts with a minor based on the allegation he molested the 13-year-old on a number of occasions at the Kumon Math & Reading center.
When news of his arrest broke, the other two victims came forward and additional counts were added to the charge, Acevedo said.
As part of a plea agreement reached last month, Chung pleaded no contest to a single count related to the first victim in exchange for eight years behind bars.
Defense Attorney Rayford Fountain noted at sentencing that his client received a number of letters of support from colleagues and friends and asked the prosecution and the court to consider lowering the sentence time.
"Many people have stood up for him, " Fountain said.
Deputy District Attorney Nicole Vo said all the mitigating circumstances were taken into consideration when the eight-year plea deal was offered and therefore it would not be reduced.
The prosecutor explained outside the courtroom eight years is the maximum allowed by law for the one count. She also noted Chung will have to serve the time in state prison and he must serve at least 85 percent of the time before he can be considered eligible for parole.
The plea, she and the detective said, was effective in a number of ways.
"I think he accepted responsibility very early in the proceedings and ... we're seeing a resolution that includes state prison time and he will have to register as a sex offender for life, " Vo said.
Acevedo added the early resolution also spares the victims the difficulty of testifying in trial.
"The benefit of the plea isn't for the defendant, it's for the victims, " he said.
Upon his release, Chung will be placed on three years parole and the charge, considered a violent sexual offense, leaves a strike on Chung's record, said Acevedo, who is assigned to the Special Victims Bureau.
The defendant is the owner of the Kumon Learning Center and worked there for five years with children providing after-school tutoring, according to the criminal complaint.
