It would be an interesting statistic if more girl and women have defended themself using bjj or where molested by their coaches.
Would guess it's running about 2 to 1, molestation leading.

I know two guys who ran Mcdojo kempo schools. Both of them are now in bjj... Both of them were over 250 pounds, under six feet, and had sex with a total of 8 female students from the ages of 14-16..... LOL. This is bound to happen everywhere in a hedonistic society. I also personally know Professors, subs for high schools, and others who have dogged super young girls in a "safe place." Just shows how good our educational system actually is. This shit shouldn't be happening, however the media and stuff really pushes sex. So when you have to work all day, maybe don't like going out, or are awkward you don't have any choice. (You do have a choice to not have sex for awhile but these guys are impulse driven maniacs)
And then what?Point is that there are multiple scandals like this in BJJ that somehow are never reported or addressed by BJJ media, or the BJJ world at large.
Did you know Hermes Franca is out of prison and immediately teaching kids again?

I just did the following google search: karate instructor molest - there are pages of them. Same with other sports.
If you're saying that the various associations should take child safety more seriously then I agree with you, not only in BJJ however. Not sure why you've got a hard-on for BJJ in this respect.
That's the type of thing I was looking for. If this happens across all arts, we as a society of martial artists look at what all these cases have in common to try and prevent them from happening. My previous point was if it happens in one place but not the other then we could observe both and find patterns that lead to it. But if it happens all over then we would shift focus to martial arts in general. But then you have to compare that to the statistics of it happening among the population of martial arts instructors and compare that to the data available for normal team sports, school teachers etc.
EDIT
Furthermore if this happens across many arts but BJJ as a community are the only ones who point it out, then other arts communities should do more to call out their own. I post on other martial art forums for TKD, HKD and so on but never see them bring it up in their own communities. Which it sounds like they should be based on your post.
Make another comment like this and it will be your last comment on sherdog.Age of consent is 14 in Brazil. Respect the art

My daughter does gymnastics and the British Gymnastic Association has requirements of the club to provide a child safety officer who is in turn required to go on training courses and in turn required to enforce the rules of safety including never being alone with a child, what constitutes safe touching, rules on communications outside the gym etc etc. AFAIK most BJJ affiliates don't do it to this level. I suspect it's this amateurishness in martial arts that is likely to lead to more problems.
I'll get flamed for this but is it just me or is the bailiff
