A Johannesburg karate coach who sexually assaulted his students was sentenced to three years of correctional supervision by the Alexandra Magistrate's Court on Wednesday.

Sixty-nine-year-old Peter Foyn of Douglasdale has been sentenced to house arrest and must participate in community services for sexually assaulting 11 of his students.

He had pleaded guilty to all counts.

Magistrate Syta Prinsloo said that in determining a suitable sentence, she had considered the man's age and the fact that he was a first offender.
