Founder of Fort Bluff Charged With Sexual Battery

Mike Crain has been ordered to stay away from the boys camp he founded on Dayton mountain.

That, while the community tries to understand what may have happened to the legendary preacher and karate expert.

Mike Crain was arrested last Friday of three counts of sexual battery.

He has posted bond, but has yet to have a court appearance.

Mike Crain may be best-known nationwide for a poster several years ago showing his Karati skills, or one where he sliced a watermelon on the stomach of a young Michael Jordan.

Crain and his wife Naomi built a first class Christian camp on Dayton mountain, a facility that has 4 foot ball fields and a large lake.

It attracts up to 10-thousand youngsters a year.

But two former employees, one a juvenile girl, accused Crain of sexual assault in May and in August.

The current executive director is Tim Walterbach who took the reins on Labor Day.

He says, "There's a lot of broken hearts. We're doing a lot of healing and answering a lot of questions. We want it out there that we have an open door policy. The camp will continue its great cause to preach the gospel to boys and girls."

Mike Crain who also founded the National Association of Christian Athletes, reportedly suffered two strokes in 2007.

Staff members say he suffers from progressive cognitive dementia.

His wife remains with the ministry.
