Raymond Ziesse, 52, of Chester, the owner of Mount Olive Karate Academy in Flanders, has been sentenced for Criminal Sexual Contact.

Ziesse’s indictment in December 2023 stemmed from a sexual relationship with a former adult student with cognitive and developmental disabilities. Allegedly occurring between May and August 2018 at the academy, Ziesse pleaded guilty on February 9, 2024, to one count of fourth-degree Criminal Sexual Contact.

On March 15, 2024, Judge Stephen J. Taylor imposed a two-year probation sentence.
