Ex-Strikeforce heavyweight Brett Rogers charged with three counts of sexual misconduct

A former Strikeforce heavyweight star has been charged with three counts of sexual misconduct, MMA Fighting confirmed Thursday.

Brett Rogers, best known for fighting Fedor Emelianenko in 2009, is currently in custody at Ramsey County (Minn.) jail after allegedly groping two men in downtown St. Paul, per the criminal complaints obtained from Minnesota Second Judicial District Court. A former cellmate of Rogers has also accused him of touching him sexually, which tacked on a third count.

Rogers, who has done jail time on domestic violence charges since the end of his Strikeforce run, allegedly grabbed the crotch area of a man’s pants and his penis in an elevator at a downtown library on Nov.
