New sex abuse charges have been levied in Grays Harbor County against a former University Place youth baseball coach and martial arts instructor already charged with child rape in Pierce County.
Prosecutors said 59-year-old Michael Basse would drive the young boys from the University Place area to a house in Pacific Beach where he would molest and sexually assault them.According to court documents, when police arrested Basse, they found multiple guns and hundreds of pills, which prosecutors said may have been used to drug children.
Basse was arrested April 21 and was charged with eight counts of child rape and five counts of child molestation. Charging documents indicated the alleged abuse involved multiple victims — young boys, ranging from the age of 9 to 17, at the time of the incidents. Some reported being assaulted by Basse at Tenchikan Dojo in Tacoma. Others said they were in contact with Basse when he worked as a baseball coach of a boys team in University Place.
