Cain Velasquez‘s ongoing criminal case continues, with the plea hearing for the former UFC Heavyweight Champion pushed back in the latest update.
According to a report from MMAFighting.com, Velasquez’s plea hearing date has been pushed back to August 19, 2022, with the motion hearings for the case now set to occur two weeks after that on September 6, 2022. Currently, Velasquez is being held without bail in the Santa Clara County Jail due to impending charges that include first-degree murder.
Elsewhere in the case, MMAFighting.com is reporting that a civil lawsuit has been filed against Harry Goularte, the man Velasquez attacked in April. That civil suit alleges that Goularte participated in general negligence, retention, supervision, negligent hiring, training and investigation, sexual battery, sexual misconduct, and sexual harassment, and was filed against Goularte’s business Certified Custom Concrete, his mother Patricia Goularte, and her childcare business among others.
Velasquez was involved in a shooting on February 28, 2022, as he allegedly shot at a man who was charged with molesting one of his close relatives. The former WWE star was subsequently charged with 1st-degree attempted murder, shooting an occupied motor vehicle, and multiple counts of assault with a deadly weapon, among 10 total charges.
