LOS ANGELES — Cain Velasquez, the former UFC heavyweight champion charged with the attempted murder of a man he claims molested his 4-year-old son, is now suing the man and his family who own a childcare business where the alleged molestation took place.
Velasquez, 39, remains in police custody after he allegedly shot at the man and rammed his truck into his vehicle during a high-speed pursuit through Santa Clara County in February. The two-time UFC heavyweight champion claims in a civil lawsuit that Harry Goularte sexually molested Velasquez's son while he was attending a childcare run by Goularte's mother, Patricia Goularte.
The lawsuit was filed on behalf of a minor named "C.V. Jr." against Harry Goularte, his concrete business, along with his mother and stepfather, Paul Bender, who operated the childcare business out of a home in San Martin. Goularte was living at the home and working for the childcare business during the time of the alleged molestation, according to the lawsuit.
