Now-former UFC signee Ahmad Hassanzada faces six felony counts of lewd or lascivious acts with a child.
Tuesday, Hassanzada appeared in Sacramento Superior Court, as he waived his arraignment in anticipation of a bail and pre-trial release hearing, now scheduled for April 30. Hassanzada faces four counts of lewd or lascivious acts with a child victim who is 14 or 15 years old, with the defendant being 10 years older, and two counts of lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14.
Judge Benjamin Cassidy revealed the timeline of the accusations that triggered Hassanzada’s arrest is Feb. 9, 2024, to Feb. 27, 2024. Hassanzada was represented by public defender’s office attorney Stacie Rose Jackson.
A co-defendant, Khairullah Kakar, appeared in court with Hassanzada and faces three felony counts of lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14. Kakar is a 2-0 amateur MMA fighter, according to Tapology. Kakar’s Instagram shows he has cornered Hassanzada in the past.
Judge Cassidy revealed the timeline of the accusations that triggered Kakar’s arrest is Dec. 15, 2023 to Jan. 31, 2024.
Bail for each man is set at $400,000, according to online records. No further details of the case have been revealed at this time. Hassanzada and Kakar remain in custody.
Online records show both Hassanzada and Kakar were arrested Saturday. Following news of Hassanzada’s arrest, the UFC confirmed the company had severed ties with him. He had previously been removed from his debut scheduled for Saturday vs. Evan Elder.
