Doyle admitted to illicit sexual activity with the victim while he was her chaperone at judo competitions in Venezuela, Estonia, and Russia in 2005 and 2006, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Ohio.

Doyle was taken into custody following the sentencing hearing before Judge Thomas Rose.
