Celebrity Justice
"Austin Powers" Star Charged in Gang Rape

Posted Oct 9th 2008 8:22PM by TMZ Staff

Joe SonTMZ has learned the actor who played Random Task in the first "Austin Powers" movie has been charged with a vicious gang rape.

Joe Son's arrest has been all over newspapers in the O.C., but no one connected the dots -- that the suspect is actually Dr. Evil's henchman -- until now.

Here's how it all went down. Son pleaded guilty back in May to felony vandalism. The plea required him to fork over a DNA sample. Investigators ran his sample and found Son's DNA 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.

Son has been 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 by foreign object by force.

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

5. Joe Son is also an ex professional fighter who fought in the UFC and I think he is still best friends with the UFC's Josh Koscheck.

11. Jean Summers-I can fit into my h.s. cheerleader uniform..can u?

So you were a fat cheerleader? Or are a meth whore now? You are in a unstable marriage and have to stay in shape? You are a whore and never know who will see you naked? The strip club has a policy? You are only 19, so there is still time to get fat? You have never had kids? You had your babies before age 16, so you bounced right back? You are thin, but still saggy?

12. If you have this kind of past you need to stay inside. He did not even learn from OJ. Stay in the closet with your skeltons!!

13. Hey Jean summers, can you post some pictures of you and your cheerleader uniform? We need more info. Age. Weight. You could at least let us get some kind of visual image of what you got going. I love cheerleaders. They make me.....ooops. Gotta go clean up.

14. Here is his pathetic official MMA record: http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Joe-Son-50

He also developed his own fighting style called Jo Sondo, which is structured around unorthodox techniques and... wait for it... his religious faith. During the beginning stages of UFC, he and loyal Jo Sondo follower Kimo Leopoldo started giving a religious sermon after a fight before all camera's cut away.

True Story.

15. Horrible, all of this was done to that poor woman. Just wicked , vile, and animalistic. What they did to her should have qualified for the death penalty. That poor woman was tortured.
