A black instructor has been indicted on charges that he raped a female student, according to authorities

A DeKalb County grand jury has returned a three-count indictment against African-American Adrian Thomas Spellen, who authorities say assaulted a 9-year-old girl at his school, Powerkicks Martial Arts, in Lithonia. Investigators say that the assault occurred between late May and early June 2011 at the martial arts studio. The victim notified her mother about the assault, and the mother took the girl to a hospital and alerted police, investigators said. Spellen, 28, was taken into custody June 25, 2011. He was indicted on two rape counts and one count of aggravated child molestation.
