TV POKER STAR AND CHILD MOLESTER, DEPORTED SOON?

September 22, 2007

 

This is a crazy story out of Las Vegas. Shawn Sheikhan, who rose to fame during a final table appearance in the 2005 World Series of Poker main event, is the target of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Sheikhan, an Iranian immigrant, is facing possible deportation over a 1995 conviction on sexual battery and annoyance or molestation of a child.

It’s amazing no one nationally has covered the story. Sheikhan is well-known figure based on his volatile personality on TV. He was a featured player on both seasons of NBC’s Poker after Dark. He engaged in a yelling match with Phil Hellmuth.  Imagine if people connected his angry behavoir with his child molesting background? 

HERE IS A VIDEO OF THE VOLATILE SHEIKHAN FIGHTING WITH MIKE “THE MOUTH” MATUSOW:

UPDATE:

We just stumbled upon this. This guy Sheikhan has quite the history. He was also involved a car accident that killed a 91 y.o. woman back in 1999.

One of the two deaths attributed to the storm was the result of an auto accident just after 11 a.m., when a car hydroplaned in the northwest part of the valley.A Mercedes, driven by Las Vegan Shahram Sheikhan, 29, was traveling at speeds too fast for the slick road conditions on Buffalo Drive just north of Charleston Boulevard, Metro Police said.The Mercedes slid across the raised center median of southbound Buffalo and struck a Lincoln traveling in the northbound lanes, police said.

The female passenger, 91-year-old Dorathy Ohriner of Las Vegas, died at the scene, the Clark County Coroner’s office said today. The Lincoln was driven by Neil Ohriner, 66, also of Las Vegas, police said.
