LA talent scout convicted of teen sex abuse
Posted: Jan 4, 2013 9:14 PM by Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) - The Los Angeles city attorney's office says a talent scout has been convicted of sexually abusing a 16-year-old girl who was attending his acting and modeling school.
Spokesman Frank Mateljan announced Friday that 45-year-old Yoshitomo Kaneda was sentenced to six months in jail after he was convicted of six counts including sexual battery and child molestation.
Kaneda will have to register as a sex offender for life and has been prohibited from any contact with the victim.
On Feb. 22, Kaneda took the girl to his apartment, gave her a massage and sexually molested her.
Afterward, he left several apologetic phone messages for the victim's mother.
Those messages helped secure his conviction.
