It is with great sadness and embarassment that I must announce that USA Storm is ending our affiliation with Rob Voss in Minneapolis relating to Voss's recent arrest on charges of child pornography, and possession/dissemination of pornography.  www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/police/crimealert/2009-01-20-MPD-Highlights.asp

 

We are not making any statement regarding the validity of the charges, but we feel that it is imperative that we at USA Storm have to protect our affiliates by avoiding associations that are potentially hazerdous to our members.  

 

I will be asking the advisory board for their input regarding background checks for USA Storm affiliate instructors.   We may move in this direction in the future to protect the USA Storm name.  Unfortuneately, recent years have seen a number of individuals that have been involved in Sambo that have been criminally charged for sex crimes.  I know that some of our members have been previously been burned, and it is my desire to protect USA Storm members and affiliates from any such situations in the future.

 

Sincerely,

 

Lance Campbell

USA Storm Founder
