Millionaire martial arts trainer, 55, commits suicide after being accused of molesting teenage boys

A martial arts expert who ran several training schools hanged himself as police were on the verge of bringing sexual molestation charges against him.

Steven LaVallee, 55, killed himself at his home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on Monday. Police had been about to charge LaVallee with simple battery after he allegedly improperly touched a man during a massage in May last year.

The trainer was being investigated by Florida police after they had received reports from upstate New York, where LaVallee had eight sports centers, which accused him of molesting two teenage boys.
