Hossein Nayeri, the 41-year-old Newport Beach man who was convicted last year of playing a role in the kidnapping and mutilation of a medical marijuana dealer, was sentenced Friday to life in prison without parole for what a prosecutor described as “diabolical” behavior.
Prosecutors said the 2012 crime stemmed from Nayeri’s mistaken belief that the owner of a prosperous Santa Ana pot dispensary, who has been referred to in court as John Doe, had hidden $1 million in the Mojave Desert.
Nayeri and two other attackers abducted the man and a female housemate from a home on 25th Street in Newport Beach and forced them into a van. The attackers tortured the dispensary owner, tasing him, burning him with bleach, severing his penis and leaving him in the desert. He was rescued after his housemate made it back to the road and hailed a passing sheriff’s deputy.

Vanessa Bryant said Thursday that her mother is trying to extort a financial windfall by claiming in a lawsuit that she financially cut her children s grandmother off after her husband, Kobe, and daughter Gianna were killed in a helicopter crash. My mother is continuing to try and find ways to extort a financial windfall from our family, Bryant wrote in a statement posted to her Instagram story. Because I did not give in to her hurtful threats and monetary requests, she has spiraled out of control and is making false and absurd claims.
