It took two decades, but the law finally came down on Joseph Hyungmin Son.
The actor best known for playing Dr. Evil's shoe-throwing henchman Random Task in 1997's "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery," was convicted of torture Thursday in Santa Ana, Calif. in connection with a 1990 Christmas Eve gang rape of a woman who was out walking her dog. Here's what happened.
A Santa Ana jury found the 40-year-old Son guilty of one felony count of torture stemming from his arrest on Oct. 7, 2008 on an outstanding warrant. He faces a maximum sentence of 15 years-to-life in state prison come sentencing Sept. 9.
The rape occurred on Dec. 24, 1990 at approximately 12:30 a.m. when the unidentified victim was walking back to her apartment alone with her dog after going to look at Christmas lights with a relative and friend.
Per the Orange County District Attorney's Office, Son distracted the woman by asking for directions and pretending he was lost. Son and co-defendant, Santiago Gaitan, then dragged her to their car and threw her in the back. After pistol whipping her and telling her they were driving to Compton, the men instead drove to Huntington Beach where they raped her repeatedly, sodomized her and forced her to give them oral sex.
Can't say I'm surprised with this revelation one bit. You go around working for an evil company like Virtucon for long enough something's got to give. It's only so long that you can work for a psycho like Dr. Evil before next thing you know you're kidnapping some chick on Chirstmast Eve and raping and sodomizing her and getting convicted of torture. Can't be long now before Mustafa, Frau, and Number 2 are all locked up with him.
