‘Austin Powers’ Star Nabbed in Rape

An actor with a small but memorable part in the first ‘Austin Powers‘ movie has been charged in connection with an unsolved 1990 gang rape, according to a FOXNews.com report.

Joe Son, who played the shoe-throwing character Random Task (prompting the Mike Myers line “Who throws a shoe?”), was hit with a slew of charges on Oct. 1, including: Five felony counts of forcible rape, two felony counts of forcible sodomy, two felony counts of sodomy in concert by force, seven felony counts of forcible oral copulations and one felony count of sexual penetration by foreign object by force, according to an Orange County District Attorney’s Office release.

Son pleaded guilty to a felony vandalism charge in May, and when he was required to give a DNA sample, he was linked back to the 18-year-old Christmas Eve gang rape.
