Austin Powers Actor Joseph Hyungmin Son Convicted Of Rape & Torture
8/29/11

The actor who played Dr. Evil's sidekick in the first Austin Powers movie may face life in prison for taking part in a brutal abduction and gang rape.

Joseph Hyungmin Son, 40, was convicted last week of raping and torturing a 20-year-old woman in 1990, according to Los Angeles station KTLA.

The victim was reportedly walking her dog on Christmas Eve near her home in in Huntington Beach, California, when Son and an accomplice abducted her at gun point.

Son was accused of repeatedly raping the woman, sexually assaulting her with the gun then releasing her naked with her pants tied around her eyes.

Although the crime took place years before Son appeared in the 1997 Austin Powers movie, it wasn't until 2008 that DNA evidence linked him to the attack.

He will be sentenced September 19 and faces 15 years to life in prison.

We need to bring back public scourging. Then toss the f---ker in the ocean. Then pull his heavy worthless ass out. Drive a few hundred miles with him bound, gagged, and naked in the trunk. Then, stop at a diner or rest area. Pop the hood, throw him on the engine and slam the hood shut as far as you can. Go inside and have a delicious lunch as you watch him sizzle. THEN throw him in prison.

Eat...or die!

Or throw a shoe at him.

It kind of makes it hard to enjoy his scenes knowing he's a complete scumbag in real life.

I agree with Fluke_Skywalker -- I have the same reaction to seeing Mike Tyson in anything.

Life without parole. His Random Task in prison will be to toss salads. And that shoe isn't going to help him.

Wonder what Mike Myers thinks about this?
