DENVER (CBS4)- An MMA fighter turned martial arts coach is considered a fugitive after he failed to show up for a court hearing in a sexual assault case.

Stepan Zaytunyan skipped a court hearing on Tuesday in Denver.

Prosecutors say Zaytunyan sexually assaulted a former taekwondo student from 2010 until 2013. Denver's District Attorney also accuses him of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl during a party at his home last year.
