Burke Gymnastics Coach Charged For Sexual Relationship With Teen

BURKE, VA—A Burke gymnastics coach has been arrested and charged for a sexual relationship with a teenage girl, Fairfax County Police say.

Aryan Mazloum-Yazdi, 28, of Manassas was a coach at Capital Gymnastics National Training Center. He was charged with five counts of taking indecent liberties with a child and one count of contributing to the delinquency of a child.

Police made the arrest Friday night following an investigation launched earlier in March. The investigation determined he met the teen victim at the gymnastics center.

Mazloum-Yazdi has been fired from Capital Gymnastics, according to a statement. "Capital Gymnastics enforces its policy prohibiting gym instructors from having contact with athletes outside the gym," said Capital Gymnastics in the statement. "We have a zero-tolerance policy for violations of this policy."
