Harry Goularte, the accused molester and alleged target of gunfire by former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez, has pled not guilty.
Goularte, 43, faces a felony charge of lewd acts with a minor child. He virtually joined a plea hearing Monday heard by Judge Le Jacqueline Duong in South County Morgan Hill Courthouse where his attorney Stephen DeFilippis announced in person the not guilty plea with special obligations denied.
As a result, Goularte will now have a preliminary trial hearing Sept. 20 at Santa Clara Hall of Justice in San Jose as he faces the charge carrying a sentence of up to eight years in prison and/or a $10,000 fine.
