WACO (October 29, 2009)—Waco-area Taekwondo instructor Mitchell Cochran, 42, has been arrested on a warrant charging two counts of sexual assault of a child in connection with two incidents involving a middle school girl in 2005.
Cochran was also charged with retaliation in connection with a threatening phone call made before his arrest in which the girl’s mother was told her daughter’s head would be blown off, according to the affidavit submitted for the arrest warrant.
Hewitt police arrested Cochran on Wednesday.
The arrest stems from an investigation that started after the victim told her mother she had been sexually assaulted from the time she was in eighth grade until she was a sophomore in high school, according to the affidavit.
The sexual assault of a child charges were filed in connection with incidents in June and August of 2005 that the victim said happened early in the morning while her mother was at work, according to the affidavit.
Cochran was booked into the McLennan County Jail, bu was later freed on bond.

Check the sex offender database, they are regular people, with regular lives, living all around. The NEWS is reporting what is EXACTLY on arrest AFFIDAVIT not from the words of the girl's mouth, from the words officials, that know better. Don't you think that the Hewitt Police knew what this would to this guy? Don't you think that every single Officer, Detective, and even the Chief knew that they had BETTER be DARN SURE, BEFORE they made the arrest? Read the writing on the wall. POLICE don't just make arrests and file charges like this, especially the threat, with no evidence. This is my last post, I will not be checking to see your reply, so just when you're about to starting typing another post towards me, just GO BACK AND READ ALL OF MINE AGAIN, I've said all that needs to be said. Mitch will be innocent until proven guilty, but don't, yourself, be guilty of being naive. I leave you with this quote: Every fool finds a greater one to admire and defend them. And its Mister TruthSayer
Ok mrs TRUTHSAYER, some of that is true but only true for soneone this has happened to, this is not Mitch, HE DID NOT DO THIS. Also the threatening to blow her head off, you dont know that there TRUTHSAYER, its only what the news reported, which isnt always true. Im sure he is mad and upset there are people making up stories to ruin him and his 2 boys. The ex and the daughter are two peas in a pod. For the daughter is so funny to have her and her 3 friends all pregnant now by the same man... wake up people stop running your mouth about MITCH when you dont know him....
Mitch has been an upstanding icon in the Taekwondo community for over thirty years. What the news failed to mention that his ex wife lost custody of their children in a divorce battle. She packed up one day and left him and their kids. This is a clear attempted on her part to retaliate against him for losing her kids. Something she deserved. Now this allegation will follow him forever.
