On August 22, 2014, James Lee Mein, father of UFC welterweight Jordan Mein was arrested in Las Vegas prior to the UFC Fight Night 49 weigh-ins.
Lee Mein has sexual battery charges dismissed
He was accused of sexually assaulting a female maid in the hotel. He was officially charged on September 10, 2014, and today it was announced that those charges have been dismissed.
“Mr. Mein (Lee) is finally able to put this nightmare behind him. He has maintained his innocence throughout and never once waivered – He simply did not commit this crime! It is sad when some people see a spotlight and are willing to throw false accusations against another innocent person. To be fair it should be noted that the accuser, in this case, is an ex-con who had just very recently been released from prison. The inconsistencies and improbabilities in her statements are astounding. The felony charge against Lee was dismissed outright. In the end, Lee maintained his innocence; he was found guilty of nothing, and all charges levied against him have been dismissed and expunged from his criminal record. Lee leaves this process just as innocent as he started it.”
