Here you go, Ryan (from a December entry in The 10 Count):
10. Boxers Behaving Badly update: Travis Kauffman has rescinded his guilty plea in a case alleging that the heavyweight prospect ****d a 12-year-old girl in January 2005, according to Pennsylvania’s Reading Eagle.
Kauffman had pleaded guilty in June and was scheduled for sentencing in September. Instead, he will face trial in March 2008, represented by a new lawyer in place of his former attorney.
“He was led to believe that the evidence against him was overwhelming and that a plea deal was his only viable option,” Jack McMahon, Kauffman’s Philadelphia-based attorney, said to the Eagle. “Upon more careful analysis of the plea and the case against him, Kauffman wishes to proceed to a jury trial.”
Kauffman faces five to 10 years in prison if found guilty on the **** charge. He also has another case pending on allegations that he sold marijuana to undercover police officers on three separate occasions in March 2004.
Kauffman turned pro in January 2006, compiling a 10-0 record with 7 victories coming by way of knockout. He last fought in April, winning an eight-round decision over Dan Whetzel.
