Tyler Muehl pleaded guilty to a federal charge of violating the Marine Mammal Protection Act, which carries a sentence of up to a year in federal prison and up to $100,000 in fines. He violated the act when he brazenly kicked a sea lion as it sat peacefully at San Diego\u2019s La Jolla Cove on the night of July 22. In the video, Muehl refers to himself as UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway. It shows him kicking the sea lion twice, then pursuing it as it tried to escape, all while his friends laugh in the background. As the sea lion fled, the video shows Muehl kicking the mammal a third and fourth time before it managed to escape. Muehl admitted in court that the chilling video was \u201ca fair and accurate recording of what occurred.\u201d He will be sentenced on October 20. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5462\">Senator Had Sex With Married Security Guard at CNN Star\u2019s Wedding<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<blockquote>\n<p>La Jolla Teen Pleads Guilty to Harassing La Jolla Sea Lion https:\/\/t.co\/3kKTix8WUt The attached video was admitted as Exhibit A to the plea agreement and shows the defendant repeatedly kicking at the sea lion in La Jolla Cove. pic.twitter.com\/t5zXepghQ5<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5460\">Why Trump\u2019s Weird Fixations Are Exploding Now<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 US Attorney CAS (@SDCAnews) August 13, 2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read it at <span>The Guardian<\/span><\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An 18-year-old California man has admitted to repeatedly kicking a sea lion in a horrific viral video.
