A trial has begun for a former Taekwondo Canada coach charged with sexually assaulting two teen students over the course of several years. The woman testified that she and Lim would communicate on a Korean instant messaging app called Kakao Talk, and that he would instruct her to delete their message chains. Multiple instances of alleged assaultThings further escalated to Lim telling the teen he loved her in a message, she said, and eventually to regular meetings in an office at the taekwondo studio. The witness also described other assaults on trips to South Korea — and in one instance from 2017, where Lim allegedly raped her. That was the first time she had ever had sex, the witness testified.
