UFC veteran and former WEC lightweight champion Hermes Franca has been arrested in Oregon on several charges of sexual abuse. The arrest was originally reported by Examiner.com on Thursday.

MMAWeekly.com (http://mmaweekly.com/MMAWeekly.com) confirmed the report with a Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office official, who said that Franca had turned himself in.

Franca is charged with seven counts of Sexual Abuse in the first degree (ORS.163.427) and two counts of Unlawful Sexual Penetration in the second degree (ORS.163.408). Each crime is a Class B felony that falls under Oregon’s Measure 11, which requires mandatory minimum sentences for conviction of serious crimes.

Franca faces a mandatory minimum sentence of six years, three months for each of the charges if convicted.

The Examiner report indicated that Franca had entered a not guilty plea, but the sheriff’s office official told MMAWeekly.com (http://mmaweekly.com/MMAWeekly.com) that he did not have a record of his plea available.

Franca’s bail has been set at $250,000. The sheriff’s office official said that Franca’s trial is set for July 12, 2011.

Franca was the WEC lightweight champion prior to the promotion’s acquisition by Zuffa. He also is a veteran of the UFC.


He was scheduled to face Drew Fickett at MFC 30 (http://mmaweekly.com/mfc-30-up-close-personal-fight-card-rumors) for the promotion’s vacant lightweight championship on June 10 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. But his current arrest and fighting outside of the organization led MFC president Mark Pavelich to announce his termination on Thursday.

Apart. Hij trainde nu een jaartje bij ons op de sportschool en het was een hele relaxte kerel. Hij schijnt ook uit Brazilie terug te zijn gekomen om zichzelf aan te geven....
Kan me moeilijk voorstellen dat hij zomaar iemand verkracht, maar als het waar is, nooit meer buiten laten. Het schijnt ook nog eens om een minderjarige te gaan.
