Police launch investigation into sexual assault allegations made against B.J. Penn

B.J. Penn is officially coming out of retirement, but his legal troubles might not be done yet.

The Hilo (Hawaii) Police Department has launched a second-degree sexual assault investigation into the UFC legend stemming from allegations made by the girlfriend of a former employee, sources told MMA Fighting.

The alleged victim filed an incident report in February regarding the matter in Delaware County (Ohio), where she currently lives. Hilo PD public information officer Chris Loos confirmed to MMA Fighting on Monday that the Hilo PD received a hard copy of that incident report last week.
