Former UFC and Pride fighter Joseph Hyungmin Son (aka Joe Son), was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole for felony torture. Son was originally accused of gang rape, according to a 2008 TMZ article, and faced multiple felony counts of rape, forcible sodomy, in concert by force, forcible oral copulation and sexual penetration by foreign object by force. Unfortunately, some of the charges were dropped because they exceeded the statute of limitations.

Son had originally pleaded guilty to felony vandalism, but a DNA sample “connected him to an unsolved gang rape back in 1990, where a woman was pistol-whipped, raped, threatened with death and eventually blindfolded and released naked.” The crime took place on Christmas Eve, and the victim was a woman walking her dog to go look at Christmas lights with a friend and relative.
According to a press release from the Orange County District Attorney Office, Son’s co-defendant, Santiago Lopez Gaitan, pleaded guilty last January to one felony count each of kidnapping, sodomy by force in concert, rape in concert, forcible oral copulation and forcible rape (with a sentencing enhancement for committing rape while armed with a firearm). He was sentenced to 17 years and four months in prison. (You can read all the gruesome details on the crimes committed on said press release.)
Son is best known for appearing in the comedy Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. He is 5’4 and fought at 236 lbs. He holds a professional MMA record of 0-4. He competed in UFC 4 in 1994, suffering repeated groin strikes by Keith Hackney. Watch for yourself:
