STATEMENT FROM MASTER RAI

STATEMENT FROM MASTER RAI

There have been a number of social media leaks of charges that I am facing and some uninformed commentary about these charges. I have retained a criminal defence lawyer, Joseph Neuberger, and I am pleading not guilty.  I intend to vigorously defend these allegations and I expect to be vindicated after a fair and open trial.  There is an important context to these allegations that I cannot comment on as the case is before the Courts and I respect the integrity of the Court process.  I expect that anyone who knows me, is well aware that I have served my community with integrity and honour as a Toronto Police Officer for 25 years and I have dedicated almost 40 years of my life to Taekwon-Do.  I have enjoyed every moment especially the joy of seeing the growth of the students of my school.  It is with great sadness that I will step aside from all my positions with the ITF until these matters are completed in the Courts. I am and will always be a loyal student to Pres. Choi and the ITF.

Taekwon

Thank you
