One-time UFC lovable loser Joseph Hyungmin Son (0-4) has been charged with multiple felonies after DNA evidence tied him to a brutal gang rape that took place in 1990 according to the good folks over at TMZ.

Son, also known to non-MMA fans as “Random Task” from Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, is probably best known in the fight community for having his balls demolished by Keith Hackney back at UFC 4 en route to a first round submission loss.

After pleading guilty to felony vandalism in May of 2008, Son was required to submit a DNA sample as part of his guilty plea. That sample connected him to an unsolved gang rape that took place over 18 years ago.

According to the Orange County District Attorney’s Office, the victim was pistol-whipped, raped, threatened with death and penetrated by a firearm before eventually being blindfolded and released naked.

Son is being held on $1 million bail and has been charged with the following:

-Five felony counts of rape
-Two felony counts of forcible sodomy
-Two felony counts of sodomy in concert by force
-Seven felony counts of forcible oral copulation
-One felony count of sexual penetration by foreign object by force.

If convicted, Son faces a maximum sentence of 275 years to life.

Hackney was the first thing that comes to mind whenever I hear about Jo Son. Every time there is some big news about this guy it is surrounding his genetalia

I remember that one Mike.. Hackney i found his jock strap.. and started hitting it with some beefy shots.. apperently not hard enough.. They should chop off his nuts.. and feed it to his neighbors dog.. What a piece a crap.. I HATE Child/woman abusers.. after he gets his nuts chopped.. blind fold him.. and shot him in the back with a AK-47…then spit on him.

Why blindfold him?

The rape happened in 1990. he is somehow just now getting caught for it.

I think that the rape happened in 1990, so that would be before his balls got destroyed.

Made me laugh for hours. Hackney would totally punch a guy in the nuts over and over for something like that to. I have trained with the guy and he is crazy.

Comment by BenLardo
2008-10-10 20:38:33

Apparently he was Kimo’s “spiritual advisor” and held up those bible verses when kimo came out to fight. Hard to belive that this guy has a big Jesus tattoo, and considers himself so religious.

Forcible sodomy is the act of performing it oneself. And since its “gang rape” the ‘in concert’ part refers to the fact that he helped others do the same thing to the victim. The whole thing makes me sick and I hope he’s a nice trophy for some big MF’er in prison!

I am no lawyer…but I do know that most states haev a “statute of limitiation” for all charges. Murder being the ONLY one that has no time limit to prosecute. It sucks, cuz this dues needs a serious ass kicking. What a pile a garbage.

But in most states, the statute of limitation is most likely 5 years, maybe 10 years. I hope they can find a way around all this and put him away forever…..But I know that ALL crimes have a statute.

2008-10-10 12:08:17

i agree fightfan, i think it’s usually 7 years

Comment by Big Jake
2008-10-10 13:42:40

Statute of limitations is set by the severity of the possible sentence. And with the charges that have been filed there’s a good chance that there’s no statute of limitations.

California does technically have statutes of limitations (SOL) on some of its sexual abuse crimes that require lawsuits to be brought within a certain time period. However, there are huge loopholes that usually allow most anyone to bring up a sexual abuse lawsuit even after the statute of limitations has expired.

There is not going to be a problem with statute of limitation. If there was they wouldn’t be able to charge, hold, and set bail for him. Obviously this has already been seen by a judge to get this far, and I am sure that Joe Son’s lawyers would have brought up the fact that he couldn’t even be tried for the crime.

 
Comment by PW
2008-10-10 17:49:09

I watch a lot of Law and Order, so I know that prosecutors can get around statutes of limitations by calling the act an ongoing criminal conspiracy. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.

 
Comment by naturalshadow
2008-10-11 00:07:02

I only watch a little bit of Law and Order, but my younger brother is an actual lawyer, so that helps me out a bit more than the average person I guess. It isn’t very fun to tell a girl that your brother does that though, especially when all you do is sell vitamins. haha

 
Comment by the heat
2008-10-11 06:34:36

statute of limitations changes for the severity of the crime and rape is probably something like 30 years so they probably have another 12 years to get him

In Sweden he would get 2 and out in a ½ year… he would also have to pay some cash to the victim(s), like 1 or 2.000 dollars.

If he did that in Texas he would have been killed already. Then we would resurrect him just so we could kill him again.

He is going to jail… In California the statute of limitation is

“California A 1742 (2000)

Permits prosecution of certain sex offenses within one year of the date on which the identity is established through DNA.”

They have one year now to put him behind bars..

What goes around comes around, this guy is going to get it in prison. However, he has to be convicted of this disgusting act. Prison is no fun place for nobody. Him being locked up with a guy like Brock Lesnar is just painful.

“One felony count of sexual penetration by foreign object by force.” Hilarious.

Comment by Xad
2008-10-10 19:03:58

How so? It’s in relation to the gun they used penetrate the girl/woman – rapists tend to do additional sadistic things on top of the rape itself – it’s all about controlling the victim.

Jo Son is going to live to fight another day( he will be fighting off the guys in prison who want to grab his balls again). Jo Son will be considered a pistol in prison( a pistol of a guy who gives great blow jobs). I hope those MMA skills come in handy when 5 guys are trying to make you tapout in prison, Good Luck JO SON!!!
