UFC star Cain Velasquez changes plea in ‘vigilante’ shooting

Former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez pleaded no contest to attempted murder on Friday for firing a gun at a man who allegedly molested one of the fighter’s young children. The Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office described Velasquez’s violence as a “vigilante shooting spree.” Investigators said Velasquez was seeking revenge in 2022 against a suspected pedophile, 43-year-old Harry Goularte, who lived in a San Martin home daycare. One of Velasquez’s children reported being molested by Goularte inside the daycare’s bathroom, court documents show.
