Toronto Sun is reporting that [former] Team Tompkins fighter, Kasheem “The Dream” Peterson has been charged in London, Ontario, Canada with sexual assault. The article lists the charges below:
Police charged 28-year-old mixed martial arts fighter Kasheem Peterson with sexual assault, forcible confinement and choking someone with the intent of committing sexual assault.
Peterson has been in London, Ontario with “The Coach” Shawn Tompkins and UFC Featherweight title-contender, Mark Hominick as a training partner, helping prepare Hominick for his April 30th UFC 130 fight against Featherweight Champion, Jose Aldo. We at Fix would practice an innocent until proven guilty stance here, but considering even his very own coach, Tompkins who in the past, housed Peterson in his home while training the MMA fighter had this to say on his Facebook:
Absolute horrible news… Please do not connect what Kasheem Peterson has done with us.. He is obviously a problem man that is out of control.. This incident had absolutely nothing to do with our Team, our hearts go out to the family.. I am disgusted..
… We’re gonna go ahead and say we hope this jerk goes to prison and his bar of soap drops frequently. We at Fix respect Tompkins for speaking out against his own fighter and expressing his sincere beliefs in the matter.
