November 22, 2000|By Margaret Van Duch.
PALATINE — A Palatine karate studio owner accused of exposing himself and improperly touching an 8-year-old girl has been charged with sexual exploitation of a child and two counts of battery, police announced Tuesday.
George Hernandez, of the 600 block of Eastport Court, Island Lake, was arrested Nov. 15, according to reports. He improperly touched a Barrington student twice and exposed himself to the girl on Nov. 8, police said.
Hernandez owns and teaches at the Olympic Karate & Fitness Center, 2070 N. Rand Rd., Palatine.
