A Taekwondo instructor in Oklahoma has been taken into custody and accused of lewd molestation involving a minimum of five minors who were under his supervision as students.
The individual identified as Lyndon Cole Jarman, aged 29, was apprehended on Wednesday, with the Broken Arrow Police Department stating that his arrest followed a comprehensive investigation prompted by information provided by multiple victims and their families.
Reports indicate that an inquiry into Jarman commenced when a Tulsa County detective received a lead in July from the National Center of Missing and Exploited Children. This lead contained a Dropbox link containing images and videos depicting child sexual abuse material. The initial tip had been received on January 11, 2022, in Austin, Texas.
The Dropbox contained 190 photos and videos of prepubescent males engaged in “sexually explicit behavior with other prepubescent males and adults,” the affidavit said, adding that Jarman had been accessing the Dropbox from his phone.
Investigators learned that Jarman had been accused of sexually assaulting a boy in 2021. That case was initially given to tribal police with the Muscogee Creek Nation but transferred to the FBI when it was learned that Jarman wasn’t a tribal citizen.
The affidavit alleged that Jarman had victims in Tulsa and Wagoner Counties.
“It is possible there could be more victims connected with this investigation,” Broken Arrow Police said.
Jarman was arrested on February 2 for domestic assault and battery of his wife in the presence of a minor in Wagoner County, and the other charges came this week, according to KTUL.
