Vinny Paz pleads no contest in assault of his girlfriend

Former boxing star Vinny Paz has once again been accused of assault, this time of his girlfriend in an incident where police found her beaten and barricaded in a bathroom according to an ESPN report.

Police received a call at around 3am from a relative of the woman, and had to force their way into Paz’s home where the found the woman locked in a bathroom out of fear. She was reportedly found with visible injuries to her face and was taken from the home on a stretcher.

This latest incident follows another recent one in January where Paz hospitalized a man who he claimed stole money from him, although Paz maintains he was really the victim in that altercation.

Paz entered a no contest plea to this latest charge and received a one-year suspended sentence as well as one year of probation while also being ordered to stay away from the woman and undergo counseling.
