How Much Love Left in Don Cornelius? Soul Train Conductor Gets Two Restraining Orders
Nov 20, 2008 – To watch Don Cornelius on Soul Train, you’d think there was nothing in the world except peace and love – well maybe a lot of that was just for the cameras. The 72 year old has had two restraining orders slapped against him.
According to court documents, Cornelius's estranged wife, Viktoria, has had some problems with ‘Mr. Soul Train.’ She was granted a three-year restraining order on October 24th of this year. A week before Cornelius was arrested for allegedly beating her up.

Yesterday she got a protective order against him. The judge also demanded Cornelius turn over his firearms.
He was also charged with dissuading a witness from filing a police report and assault with a deadly weapon on Friday (Nov. 14th), following a dispute with his wife.
Cornelius faces five years in prison if convicted. He is scheduled to return to court on December 4th. – by John Rohn Story courtesy of Rock History Book.com

Soul Train’s Don Cornelius Charged with Multiple Crimes
Nov. 15, 2008 – The soul man with the deep dark tones is in trouble. "Soul Train" host Don Cornelius could go to jail for up to five years if convicted on multiple charges that came down today. Cornelius is charged with three counts of spousal battery, one count of dissuading a witness from making a police report, and one count of assault with a deadly weapon.

The famous 72 year old R&B promoter was arrested last month for allegedly getting physical with a woman at his home. No word if that was his wife, Victoria, who is famous for wearing daring dresses in public. She’s not in the Coco/Ice-T category but maybe a classier version.

The L.A. City Attorney had the misdemeanor charges filed today. They come from two separate situations. – by Robbie Steiner Story courtesy of Rock History Book.com
