Noteworthy cases
CEO of RadiumOne pleads guilty of domestic violence; video footage not allowed in court
Gurbaksh "G" Chahal, an online advertising mogul and the CEO of RadiumOne, was initially charged with 45 felonies in March 2014 for beating his girlfriend after he found out she had taken a trip with another man. The incident took place on August 5, 2013.
Judge Conroy ruled that a key piece of evidence--video footage of the incident taken by Chahal's security cameras--was inadmissible because police seized it from Chahal's home before obtaining a warrant. Prosecutors argued that the video equipment had been lawfully discovered by police as they searched for Chahal's girlfriend in the house. The video, according to police, showed Chahal hitting the woman 117 times. A San Francisco officer who arrived at the scene said that the woman stated that she was in fear for her life.[3]
Chahal reached a plea deal with prosecutors, pleading guilty to two misdemeanors. His sentence was for a 52-week domestic violence training program, 25 hours of community service and three years of probation.[4] Soon after the case completed, he was fired from RadiumOne.[5]
