Child directly implicates Harry Goularte in court by marking a drawing; authorities say the charges prompted Velasquez to shoot at Goularte and his family during a frenzied chase last year.
MORGAN HILL — A court hearing is underway to determine whether there will be a trial for a man charged with molesting the child of former mixed-martial arts champion Cain Velasquez, an accusation whichand his family during a frenzied South County car chase last year.
The child, now 5, implicated Goularte in court Monday by marking a stick figure drawing presented to him by Deputy District Attorney Robert Philbrook. He testified, through soft-spoken, short answers, that Goularte touched his genitals in a bathroom at the San Martin daycare run by the defendant’s mother.
Neither Philbrook nor defense attorney Steve DeFilippis pressed Bender on her assertions that her son had minimal contact with the children at her daycare. She did say that Goularte had less than a handful of interactions with the reported victim, but that one of them was a playful interaction in which the child was punching Goularte and that he picked up the child and jokingly threatened to put him in a garbage can.
During his cross-examination, DeFilippis sought to imply that the child’s dislike for Goularte was not from abuse, but because of the instance where Goularte physically picked him up. DeFilippis brought up the later Halloween interaction between Goularte and Velasquez to highlight its playful nature.
