Last year, Velasquez received a five-year prison sentence, with 1,283 days credit credited for time served. In February 2022, Velasquez shot at a vehicle with Harry Goularte as a passenger. Goularte’s stepfather suffered a non-life-threatening injury during the incident. Goularte is accused of abusing Velasquez’s son and is awaiting trial on charges of lewd acts with a minor. Despite this, Goularte is currently out on bail.
The situation does not sit well with Sean Strickland, who said in an interview that the state of California ruined the situation with Velasquez.
“Are [expletive] Crazy,” Strickland said. ‘Mind you, we are a country of laws, but when does one shoot [expletive] pedophile illegal? I think forever, but I don’t know. Just like the nanny state we’re in, they’re trying to castrate every man. The whole world knows what Cain did was right, and the law or not, it’s just an example of the nanny state trying to castrate every man in America.
Velasquez has now been released on parole. A restitution hearing is scheduled for June 3 to determine how much Goularte’s stepfather is owed.
Meanwhile, Strickland is set for a UFC Houston showdown against Anthony Hernandez on Saturday. It’s a crucial fight in the middleweight division and BJPenn.com will give you live updates throughout the event.
