Convicted sex offender facing Tulsa allegations
Oklahoman Published: September 14, 2002
TULSA - A convicted sex offender who taught martial arts at a YMCA is accused of making indecent proposals to two brothers and molesting one of them.
Billy Gene Morrison, 34, was sentenced to seven years in prison in 1994 for making an indecent proposal to a child, court records show. He had not registered as a sex offender until Monday, after he was fired from the YMCA amid the new complaints.
A background check by the Thornton YMCA did not produce Morrison's conviction from Rogers County, Tulsa Detective Marnie Waller said. He was hired by the YMCA more than two years ago.
Morrison is accused of showing two of his former students, brothers ages 9 and 13, an obscene photo and molesting the older boy.
Morrison went to their apartment after they stopped attending the YMCA and offered to act as a mentor for the children. Their mother was raising five children on her own.
Morrison claimed he did not know he was supposed to register as a sex offender.
