The actor who played bad guy Random Task in "Austin Powers" has been sentenced to life in prison for his role in the brutal gang rape and torture of a woman on Christmas Eve in 1990.
Joseph Hyungmin Son had been found guilty of felony torture -- for an incident in which a young woman was kidnapped, shoved into the back of a trunk ... and then raped and sodomized multiple times by Son and another man.
During today's hearing, an Orange County, CA judge ruled that Son may become eligible for parole during his sentence.
The victim, who wishes to remain anonymous, released a statement to the court saying, "My emotional scars are intense. My twenties were stripped from my life as I relearned how to walk, see, hear and cope with the outside world again."
She adds, "Joseph Son not only cost me my job at my salon but also my college savings ... not to mention the impact it's made on celebrating Christmas year after year."
Well wow....
Damn villian
Scary looking dude!
I was expecting to see Fat Bas .
21 years later, he gets sentenced? Swift justice...
"During today's hearing, an Orange County, CA judge ruled that Son may become eligible for parole during his sentence. "
WTF????
^----- yeah, that's what I meant... It's been so long that the statute of limitations has gone by on some of his crimes.
sad, tragic to be sure but also pretty random
edit: n/m missed the Christmas Eve part in op
it happened on christmas
Honestly, who throws a shoe??
seems like an aggravated rape case.
no SOL in the state of Cali for it as far as I can tell.
I made my SOL comment after reading the guy's wiki info:
He did all those? That guy is sick! I dont want to pay for that er's meals and shelter for the rest of his life. A .223 round is only 50 cents.
How many times can you sodomize someone before it becomes tedious?
A: Bend over, I'll do the research

Austin Powers' actor allegedly kills sex offender in prison
By Sam Quinones Los Angeles Times Staff Writer 4:29 p.m. CDT, October 11, 2011
An "Austin Powers" actor convicted of torturing a woman in Orange County is suspected of killing his cellmate in a Central Valley prison, authorities said Tuesday.
Joseph Hyungmin Son, 40, allegedly killed his 50-year-old cellmate, who was found dead Monday afternoon at Wasco State Prison Reception Center in Kern County.
The cellmate was a parole violator who had been sentenced to two years in prison for failing to register as a sex offender, according to a prison report. A cause of death was pending.
Prison officials have named Son as the suspect, but officials said charges against him will await the completion of the investigation. Son, who played henchman Random Task in "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery," was also briefly a mixed martial arts fighter who used the name Joe Son.
He had arrived at the prison reception center Sept. 16 after having been convicted of torture and sentenced to life in prison without parole in connection with the 1990 Christmas Eve rape of a woman out walking her dog.
Prosecutors in the torture case said the woman was walking back to her apartment alone with her dog after going to look at Christmas lights with a relative and friend and was stopped by Son about 12:30 a.m. on Christmas Eve 1990.
Son asked her for directions and then, with another man, dragged her to a car, threw her in the back and drove away.
Son and the other man told her they were driving to Compton, pistol-whipped her and repeatedly threatened to kill her.
Son's cohort, Santiago Lopez Gaitan, 40, of San Antonio, raped the woman, prosecutors said.
Afterward, Son threatened to kill the victim and counted the bullets in the gun out loud as she pleaded for her life.
Son and Gaitan finally allowed the woman, identified only as Jane Doe, to leave, naked and with her pants tied around her eyes. The woman went to a nearby Huntington Beach home, where the residents called police.
While physical evidence was gathered in the case from the sexual assault, the case went cold. Son, however, was convicted in May 2008 of felony vandalism in an unrelated case and was forced to give a DNA sample.
That sample was then linked to DNA collected in the 1990 case, prosecutors said.
Gaitan pleaded guilty in January to kidnapping, sodomy, rape, forcible oral copulation and forcible rape with a sentencing enhancement for committing rape while armed with a firearm. He was sentenced to 17 years and four months in state prison.

life in prison's better when you kill somebody.
Yeah, sounds like the old addage of beat someone up or become someone's got applied to an extreme degree. Between what little fame he had and the nature of what he was locked up for there were probably plenty of guys in there looking to take a shot at him.
Look in the mirror, and just blame yourself.

Seriously though, that's a terrible terrible ordeal. I can't imagine if that happened to one of my daughters. I'd be looking to take it out of his ass tbh.
How this guy is even eligible for parole AFTER having killed his cellmate on top of this is just beyond me.
: What an evil dude. I wonder if the victim from the 1990 case ever recognized him in the Austin Powers movie?
He's known as Joe Son in the mma world
do you believe all the that you type?
Who would have ever pegged him for a nut?
Look in the mirror much?
