“Austin Powers” Actor On Trial For Gang-Raping Woman At Gunpoint

August 18, 2011 at 10:01 am by Morbid

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. – The rape trial of Joseph Hyungmin Son has is has started in Orange County. You may not recognize the name, but you may recognize him as “Random Task,” the shoe-throwing villain from the film Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery.

But seven years before he would star in that film and four years before he would get have his groin treated like a red-headed stepchild during his UFC 4 match with Keith Hackney, it seems 39-year-old Son was up to no good.

Back in 1990, a 20-year-old woman was walking her dog on Christmas Eve, checking out the Christmas lights when Son, along with a second suspect, allegedly dragged the woman into the back of a car, pistol whipped her and raped her repeatedly. Son is also accused of raping the victim with a gun before she was released in Compton naked with her pants tied around her eyes.

This case would remain unsolved until 2008 when a DNA sample Son gave to authorities following a probation violation linked him to the 18-year-old crime.

Son was initially charged with five 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.

Because of the statue of limitations regarding some of those charges, that laundry list was whittled down to conspiracy to commit murder and torture. Both of these charges carry a life term.

I’ve seen that UFC video before, didn’t know it was the guy from Austin Powers. Way to connect the two, impressive. Looks like he was getting what he deserves now that I know about this guy. Also, at least he’s Asain so there might not have been too much trauma to the woman? (YEAH BABY)

He should really be forcibly sodomized by a shark, and suffer devastating anal leakages and tears that even Exxon couldn’t mop up.

I don’t like the idea of forcible sex, even more distasteful is the act of rape in front of ones offspring. I don’t normally jump on the “PUBLIC EXECUTION” bandwagon, but I would watch this guy being hung on television and would pay for the privileged. I hope that both mom and son were not damaged to bad 18 years ago, and they are well adjusted today.

I wonder what Son did in his probation violation to warrant a DNA sample? Glad to know that he’ll do “DNA swabs” for a long time in prison!

Huh? The woman was walking her dog and wasn’t raped in front of her offspring. The rapist’s name is Son.

Exxon’s fuck up is STILL screwing up that place.

You hope the dog is well-adjusted today after its owner was raped?

When I thought dog was a person, Yes. Now knowing the dog is a dog, I’m sure its dead by now,

I think I know what his prison nickname will be. ”What will “random task” do to avoid being forcibly violated by his fellow inmates today?”

“Oh wow. Wow, if I were a woman, I would press my bare boobs up against
glass in public, just for the SEXUAL THRILL! THE SEXUAL THRILL!!!”

First, this guy is scum. Second, gang rape is just about the ickiest thing ever. How the fuck is it a turn on for someone to not only force a woman to take their dick, but to have the squish of another man’s semen all over your dick as well. Some people are truly fucking nasty.

Umm…. Hehehe. . . Ah. . . yes, I loved those consensual moments. And she loved the cold feel of a .45 Smith & Wesson.

Could we only hope that this “Joseph is Hyungmin like someone’s little Son”, and he gets repeatedly violated in prison by a Mini-Me look a like.

Odd that the “penetration with a foreign object” didn’t include a shoe, oh but that would have been foreshadowing, right? Kinda?
