DAYTON — A judo coach who admitted having a sexual relationship with a teenage girl he was training was sentenced Thursday to 10 years in prison.

Daniel Doyle, 33, of Spring Valley pleaded guilty Nov. 9, in U.S. District Court to one count of Engaging in Illicit Sexual Conduct in a Foreign Place. Doyle also admitted videotaping the two of them engaged in sex on at least one occasion

The illicit sexual conduct occurred between August 2003 and April 2007 when Doyle was coaching and chaperoning her at judo competitions around the world. Doyle admitted to illicit sexual activity with the victim while he was her chaperone at judo competitions in Venezuela, Estonia, and Russia in 2005 and 2006, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Ohio.

Doyle was taken into custody following the sentencing hearing before Judge Thomas Rose.

Doyle's sentence includes a fine of $15,000. Doyle will be on supervised release for life after his prison term and he is required to register as a federal sex offender wherever he lives.

Rose also ordered that Doyle have no contact with minors, either supervised or unsupervised, including mail or phone contact, and he must stay away from anywhere minors congregate.

According to a statement of facts filed with the plea agreement, the victim started judo classes with Doyle in 1998 when she was about eight years old.

Doyle began a sexual relationship with the victim when she was no older than 14. Doyle also videotaped at least one occurrence of the pair engaged in sexual activity when the victim was approximately 16-years-old.

Ten year prison term is very lenient. What a sicko..... 14 yrs old

In exchange, his victims do not have to testify, do not have to persuade 12 people that he in fact did these things, do not have to undergo cross examination, and can maintain a civil action against him that will follow him around for the next 40 years. I could care less what happens to Doyle (but that lifetime probation is a biggie, and he'll have to register both federally and with his town for life), but anything that eases the burden of the victims is a good thing. The court process is over; there is no doubt and he took responsibility. Most victims of rape and sexual assault do not have that luxury.

I heard that the sentencing was this week. Besides the 10-years (let's hope he doesn't get parole too quickly), I am glad those conditions were ordered.

He's a sicko. I hope that this news will give the victim and her family some closure and peace.

He broke the law and what he did was wrong, but considering the legal age in Canada and various European countries, I wouldn't necessarily call him a "sicko". At least he hasn't committed an act of paedophilia.

This case reminds me of Vladimir Nabokov's famous novel.

Why was the first part highlighted? Lots of children start judo at eight years old; so what?

85% minimum for federal time, and that's non violent. Sex offenses are considered violent. He's gone for the full 10, if not more. There's always involuntary commitment as a sex offender - lots of states have inpatient programs from which the courts control release based on the lower standard of by a preponderance of the evidence is it more likely than not that he is still a danger to others.....

I hope it does, however, as JudoJane posted

Listen to what the TV reporter said at the end of his report, about what Doyle said as he was leaving the courtroom in handcuffs. To me, what this POS said, does not help with the closure and peace for the victim and family.
