Promotional video for Joe Son as a mixed martial arts fighter.
So back in May, a friend of Joe Son's filed a vandalism charge against the actor turned mixed martial artist turned loser. Joe Son, who is 37, was required to give his DNA.
Whoops. Son's DNA generated a cold hit in the California database, and on October 1, he was charged with 5 felony counts of forcible rape, two counts of forcible sodomy, seven felony hits for forcible oral sex, two counts of "sodomy in concert by force" and the nasty cherry on the top of this sexual predator's sundae, a felony count of sexual penetration by a foreign object, by force.
A gang rape occurred on Christmas Eve, 1990, when Son was 19 or 20, and California authorities think Son was a participant.
Son, a native of Huntington Beach, CA first came to fame playing a character named Random Task in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery.
Son decided to become an MMA fighter at some point, but according to the always-reliable Wikipedia (that's a joke, for the humor-challenged among you), he retired with a 0-4 record. Son was apparently better known for dragging a crucifix into the ring before his fights and for wearing very little in the ring.
Joe Son's MySpace: myspace.com/josondo. His general interests were listed as "The Bible. Throwing Shoes." Under "About Me," Son wrote, "I'm the founder of Josondo. You may remember me from an early UFC event as that asian fellow who took 10 straight punches to the pills. I also played Random Task in the first 'Austin Powers' movie."
"Josondo" is apparently Son's own made-up thing.
TMZ noted that if Son is convicted of the counts against him, he may face up to 275 years in prison. Plenty of time to perfect his "josondo" on amorous cellmates eager to show the guy what "gang rape" really means.
[FOXNews.com and TMZ.]
How horrifying. The victim(s?) had to be traumatized, it sounds like a vicious, hateful attack. Good to know there may be retribution coming after all this time.
Thank goodness for the ongoing improvements and upgrades to the databases, and the efforts of LE to use them for good.

Posted 10/10/2008 at 12:25:01 PMWhat is the statute of limitation for rape, anyone know. This gives me hope for my 28 year old case. Someone is finally getting justice. Cool

Posted 10/10/2008 at 11:19:49 PMJoe Son goes from pathetic joke to morbid joke.
For more on the history of Joe Son I wrote an article detailing his career and highlighting the relationship to this incident.

Wow, it's disappointing. I was a fan of Joe Son!
Posted 12/23/2008 at 02:14:51 PMUnfortunately, he will probably walk on this as the statute of limitations is well beyond the 10 year time frame. The 1 year from time of DNA match will not hold for the collection was unconstitutional. Mandatory DNA for a vandalism charge. Sad, but he will skate instead of becoming bubba's best girlfriend in the Q "D block, tier 4"
Posted 12/24/2008 at 11:56:01 AMIt's time to retire your savage balls, Joe Son.
You're still my hero!

Posted 12/26/2008 at 11:18:49 AMJoe Son...I got in a fight with this joke in HB in 94'. He was holding a Jesus sign and after talking to my friends he started a fight with me. He took me down without warning so I gouged my finger in his eye. I think he started crying at that point and quit.
What a waste of a human being.
