Muslim leader accused of sexual assault in Chesapeake

CHESAPEAKE -- A Muslim leader faces sexual assault charges.
Chesapeake police arrested Imam Iskender Ali Mihr, also known as Iskender Evrenosoglu, on Tuesday.
The alleged victim says she was inappropriately touched last October while she was in his office for prayer.
That woman, a college student, left the U.S. and returned to Turkey.
She’s one of 100 followers of Ali Mihr in Hampton Roads.
Iskender Evrenosoglu, who lives on Marina Reach, is charged with one count of sexual battery.
Police say the woman filed a report on January 19 and Evrenosoglu was arrested Monday and released that day.
The Imam is due in court later this week.
