MMA gym owner/trainer wanted for child molestation

[philodox]

[Reposted on the UG]: Not only trying to spread the word/catch this guy but curious has to his martial arts credentials. Possibly a MA fraud + child molester?

Just heard through the grape vine that a guy named "Umar Love" is being sought by San Bernardino Sheriff's Dept for "Lewd acts with a child".

According to the Sheriff's Dept, he is the owner/operator of a school called Evolved Martial Arts in Apple Valley, CA. I Googled the guy's name and he's got some King of the Cage fights under his belt.

He was arrested for one charge of lewd acts with a child, multiple girls between the ages of 14-16, many of which took place at his business.

The guy apparently posted bail then skipped town with his GF. Anyone have any info on this guy or ever heard of him or his gym?

I found a couple of things pertaining to his school:

What looks to be a web site under development (same logo as the FB page) which only mentions a guy by the named of Julian Chavez: http://evolvedmartialarts.net/

If you are in the Southern California/Inland Empire/Apple Valley area please keep an eye out for him. Please repost this on other forums. Let's get this guy caught. Thanks.
