WANT MORE?: Get the lowdown on UFC at MMAjunkie Penn frequently posts pictures with his children on his official Instagram account. Penn, 40, was required to stay 100 feet away from Uaiwa and refrain from contacting her when the order was initially filed, though he was later allowed supervised visits with their two children and limited contact with her through their respective attorneys. The former UFC two-division champion and 2015 UFC Hall of Fame inductee has not been arrested or charged with a crime in connection with Uaiwa's allegations. He said he couldn't "by law" comment on the allegations against Penn because the case involves children.Īccording to online court records, Penn's attorneys were denied a request to seal the proceedings. His attorney, John Schmidtke Jr., called the records "incomplete information" and said he didn't know why the court released the documents, which he believed to be non-public. MMA Junkie was unable to reach Penn for comment. "I feel fearful for my safety and my childrens (sic) life, and for the influence he has over my children," she wrote. Uaiwa wrote that she didn't report Penn to authorities "because of his name, reputation, the control he has had over my life and I was scared." She detailed several episodes of disturbing behavior over a three-year period and said they are only the most recent incidents. Uaiwa alleges Penn verbally abused and menaced her in front of their two children and her mother, threatened to kill her family, and sexually abused her, according to a written statement attached to the protective order and obtained by MMA Junkie via a public records request.
The order was extended after a hearing in February it expires Oct. Penn's estranged partner, Shealen Uaiwa, first obtained a temporary restraining order and petition for an order of protection this past October in Hawaii Family Court, alleging the UFC Hall of Famer abused her over the course of their 10-year relationship. Penn is set to return at UFC 237 with an active restraining order against him.
