| Former UFC star and one-time pro wrestler arrested on 1990 rape charge |

Joe Son, best known as the original manager of Kimo and the recipient of the nastiest low blows in UFC history against Keith Hackney in the early days of the promotion, was charged with 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 and one felony count of sexual penetration with a foreign object by force. The former fighter, known also in Japan for doing MMA and pro wrestling matches wearing a thong, is best known for playing the role of Random Task in the original "Austin Powers" movie. Son pleaded guilty in May on a felony vandalism charge, and in exchange for the plea bargain, he had to give a DNA sample. After running his sample, police found the DNA matched the DNA of an unsolved gang rape in 1990 of a woman who was pistol-whipped, blindfolded and eventually released naked. TMZ.com currently has this as the lead story, although at this point they only know him as an actor, not a fighter or short-term wrestler. |
