Trump's White House UFC headliner accused of assault, forced sex, stalking
Source: Canadian Broadcasting Company
Alex Pereira, a prominent mixed martial arts fighter set to headline the U.S. president's 80th birthday UFC event at the White House, is facing allegations of abuse from two women and it isn't the first time.
Court records reviewed by CBC News, including depositions, allege the 38-year-old Brazilian UFC fighter engaged in misconduct including assault, forcible confinement, coercive sexual encounters and stalking.
With Pereira now vying for a championship in a third weight class, many combat sports enthusiasts, including Canadian fans, are expected to tune in to Sunday's fight.
The allegations, which Pereira denies, were first reported by Maike Backhaus for German broadcaster ARD/WDR. And they come as Donald Trump's administration continues to deal with fallout from the partial release of the Epstein files.

(28,201 posts)sexual encounters and stalking. A man after his own heart. Totally appropriate! Will we ever live down the embarrassment of having this display on the White House lawn? Will we ever get over the harm this monster has done to our country?
