UFC fighter Tito Ortiz has was arrested in his Huntington Beach home on suspicion of domestic violence yesterday, after he alleged hit his porn star girlfriend Jenna Jameson. KTLA News reports that Huntington Beach police came to the home after Jenna Jameson's father reported a "domestic disturbance."
It may not be too surprising that Jenna Jameson had visible injuries after she was allegedly attacked by the 6-foot-3, 205-pound former light heavyweight champ of the UFC. The porn star has a fragile, 5-foot-7, 110-pound body.
UFC fighter Tito Ortiz was booked at the Huntington Beach Jail on suspicion of felony domestic violence and had his bail set for $25,000. It's likely that the man will need legal help from an experienced criminal attorney from Los Angeles County or Orange County, if he wants to avoid the most serious punishment. In addition to criminal charges, the porn star Jenna Jameson might be pressing civil charges as well.
Many people are unaware that domestic violence can take a number of forms. FindLaw states that physical behavior, forced or coerced sexual acts, threats, and psychological abuse are all examples on what could be considered domestic violence. The penalties of a domestic violence conviction vary from case to case, but such penalties can include confinement in a state prison for a felony conviction.
Those who have been victims of domestic violence can usually contact an attorney for help getting a protective order from the courts, which mandates that the alleged abuser stays away from the victim. If a person violates a court order, then that person can face additional criminal charges.
