Earlier yesterday we reported about Gerald Strebendt (39), instructor of 10th planet Eugene and former UFC fighter being arrested (Wednesday) for allegedly sexually abusing an underage female student.
Strebendt is a long time friend and student of Eddie Bravo and is the instructor of 10th planet Eugene. He was the the instructor of the underage girl whom he allegedly abused. He is also a former marine sniper and blackwater op.
10th Planet stood by Strebendt back in 2014 when he had another run in with the law.
Strebendt used a semiautomatic rifle to kill Crofut, 53, in January 2014 after a minor traffic collision on Bob Straub Parkway in southeast Springfield.
Strebendt was initially charged with murder for the death. However, he was given an unusual and unexpected plea deal the following year that dropped the murder charge and allowed him to plead guilty to a far less serious count of criminally negligent homicide with a firearm.
Strebendt was sentenced to four years and 10 months in prison, but received credit for the nearly 15 months he spent in jail before his sentencing, as well as good behavior displayed in prison. He was released last August. He remains on post-prison supervision.
However this time this is not the case as 10th Planet head announced on his instagram:
Eugene MMA released the following statement after arrest:
