The criminal case involving Raja Jackson has been resolved through a plea deal.

Footage from a live stream showing the son of Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson attacking Stuart Smith at a wrestling event in Los Angeles shocked fans last year.

He was charged with felony battery as well as misdemeanour battery after stepping into the ring and going after Smith during an event in Los Angeles.

During what appeared to be a tense exchange between the two, footage showed Raja unleashing punches and then attempting to grab the neck of his opponent before they fell into the ropes.

Smith filed a police report just two days later, and Raja turned himself in to law enforcement shortly after. Despite being released on bail, he was suspended by Bellator MMA, under whose banner he had recently fought.

Raja Jackson faces 90 days in jail, sentencing set for June

On May 6, The New York Post reported that Raja Jackson’s criminal case is nearing its conclusion after he reached a plea agreement on Wednesday.

Jackson, who assaulted pro wrestler Syko Stu in August, pleaded no contest to one felony count of battery causing serious bodily harm after the incident gained widespread attention online.

The 26-year-old’s sentencing is scheduled for the end of June. A spokesperson for the District Attorney’s Office told The New York Post that he is expected to serve 90 days in county jail and pay $81,703.38 in restitution, along with two years of formal probation.

The restitution payment will be made before sentencing, according to the spokesperson. Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson addressed his son’s actions shortly after the incident and said he supported jail time as an appropriate consequence.
