Five MMA fighters involved in disturbing crimes

#4 Aleksander Emelianenko

The Russian was incarcerated for sexual assault against his former housekeeper, Polina Stepanova

This particular crime is right up there with the rest of them. Emelianenko does not possess the same fame that his brother Fedor does, however, he is pretty famous for his crimes against women.

In May 2014, the Russian was incarcerated for sexual assault against his former housekeeper, Polina Stepanova. Apparently, Emelianenko withheld Stepanova’s passport in order to kidnap her, forced her to consume narcotics and extorted her for sexual favours while she worked and lived in his apartment.

Stepanova was also the victim of threats from the former Pride fighter’s friends after she filed a police report against him. Although Emelianenko was locked away for quite a whle, it was reported in 2016 that he was granted an early release for “good behaviour”.
