"Austin Powers" Star Charged in Gang Rape

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

Joe Son TMZ 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.

16. 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.

17. 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.

19. This guy needs to go AWAY. 275 years sounds good to me.

OR ... maybe you just put him in a closed room, no windows, with a bunch of weapon toting women. What happens in the closed room, stays in the closed room.

21. This is some more of the problems of America...What ever happened to an 'Eye for an Eye'? If we as a nation would start punishing poeple the way that they treat their victims, I believe that we would see a dramatic decrease in crime. Make the punishment fit the crime at the most affordable way to the taxpayers... Sell tickets for public punishing sessions, make the sessions available on PPV, come on people lets think outside the box!

28. I surprised. I mean after the beating his groin took in the UFC, I didn't think that he would be able to scratch his balls without coughing.
