Cody East (12-3) is a 6’3” behemoth of a man, having been recently signed and immediately cut by the UFC. After racking up an impressive win streak in the regional MMA circuit, East failed miserably in the UFC, going 0-2 with both losses coming by way of KO/TKO.
East no longer fights for the world’s premier MMA promotion. Now that we’ve got the elephant in the room away, let’s take a brief look at the 28 year-old’s long and disturbing list of despicable crimes. He was a State Champion wrestler for Los Lunas high school in his hometown of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and also a lifelong criminal and nuisance to the peaceful city.

East was charged with ten counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor, four counts of criminal sexual penetration of a minor and one count of false imprisonment of a minor. In layman’s terms, Cody East was accused of raping an under-aged girl during his high-school wrestling days.
Despite the accounts given by several witnesses, East was later acquitted of the charges as the girl’s family didn’t want to pursue the case.
In 2007, after graduating high school, East was charged with 15 counts of criminal behaviour- four counts of first-degree rape, four counts of second-degree criminal sexual contact of a minor, six counts of third-degree criminal sexual contact and one count of false imprisonment.
Furthermore, disturbing details emerged about his 2007 rape case, revealing that the 4’11” girl was no match for the 6’3” Heayweight athlete; and that East, raped and assaulted the girl several times over the night despite her constant pleas.
Furthermore, in July 2007, at a party hosted at his home, East not only assaulted his own parents but also hip-tossed 2-3 girls aged around 14-15. At yet another party, he broke the ankle of a 17-year-old boy. In December 2008, East was sentenced to three years in prison.
And that’s not all. After several other run-ins with the law, East was most recently arrested in December of 2016 on domestic violence charges. East’s wealthy family background once again let him get off the hook, in spite of his laundry list of anti-social and psychopathic behaviour.
