Accused molester Harry Goularte’s stepfather has formally denied all allegations brought by former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez and his family in a civil lawsuit, according to recently filed court documents.
Paul Bender provided 14 affirmative defenses and requested a jury trial in a response letter filed June 27, which was obtained Tuesday by MMA Junkie.
Bender, along with wife Patricia Goularte, stepson Harry Goularte, and associated businesses face a number of accusations in a civil suit filed by the Velasquez family in April. The lawsuit was filed after Velasquez was charged with attempted murder when he allegedly shot Bender in the arm while targeting Harry Goularte during a high-speed chase on Feb. 28.
