Whitehead fighting some serious allegations in Las Vegas

Mixed martial artists get pretty good attention from the local Las Vegas media but back in April, Mike Whitehead made the local news for all the wrong reasons. He was accused of sexual assault. The female accuser and a friend hit Whitehead's home for barbecue. The women asked to stay at Whitehead's home feeling like they had too much to drink. That's when the alleged trouble began:  The report said Whitehead told the women that they could sleep in his
bed. One of the women said she awoke to find her pants down and Whitehead having
sex with her in the bed. Although she repeatedly demanded that he stop, he
didn't for about three minutes, according to the police report.After the alleged incident, Whitehead sat in a chair in the bedroom, police
said. The second woman, who had been next to the woman on the bed, said she
witnessed the alleged assault, according to the police report. The second woman
alleged that Whitehead groped her during the incident, the report said.
Whitehead turned himself in to Las Vegas authorities where he was charged with sexual assault, attempted sexual assault and open and
gross lewdness. According to the Las Vegas Sun, Whitehead's day in court, a preliminary hearing, will take place on Sept. 28.The timing couldn't be worse for Whitehead, who's developed a good reputation as a Las Vegas-based trainer and training partner for some high level MMA fighters. The 29-year-old is still fighting as well. He's won 16-of-18 fights. His only two losses during the run came against former Strikeforce light heavyweight champ Muhammed Lawal and Babalu Sobral. Since the arrest and allegations, Whitehead fought again coming away with a win over another former UFC fighter Chase Gormley on July 10. Whitehead was a cast member on Season 2 of the UFC's "The Ultimate Fighter" but lost his only fight with the promotion against Keith Jardine at UFC 57.
