Facebook

The decision on whether or not to revoke the probation of Gurbaksh Chahal, founder and CEO of Gravity4, has been delayed until April 22, 2016 at 9 a.m.

In October 2014, Chahal was taken into custody for allegedly kicking a woman multiple times, as first reported by the San Francisco Business Times. Chahal was already on probation after pleading guilty to two misdemeanors of battery and domestic violence in April 2014.

The main witness was unavailable to attend Friday's hearing because of a family medical emergency, said assistant district attorney O'Bryan Kenney.

The hearing to revoke the internet mogul's probation is now pushed to April, with a status update between the lawyers in January.

News of the alleged incident didn't come out until May 2015, but the police report painted a picture of a CEO out of control.

According to the report, Chahal was angry over the way the woman had spoken to his security guard in a fight over condoms, so while laying in bed, he kicked her in the right leg and thigh multiple times. She later went to the hospital and was released. Police have a cell-phone photograph the woman sent to her husband on the night of the incident, the report says. (The woman was married to somebody else.)

The woman told the police that she and Chahal drank three to five shots of tequila and two to three beers after work. "Additionally he would take 10 to 13 pills, antidepressants and sleeping pills one to two hours before bed," the police chronology said. "He would also drink alcohol while under the influence of the pills. Usually he is very mellow and becomes almost unconscious at times." The police chronology also said Chahal's security guard would record him yelling at his dog at night and show it to him when he woke up.

In August 2013, the San Francisco District Attorney's office filed 45 felony charges and two misdemeanors of battery and domestic violence against Chahal, who was serving as CEO of RadiumOne. By April 2014, Chahal ended up pleading guilty to the two misdemeanors and started serving three years of probation.

Chahal had gained fame in the tech community after he sold his first ad tech company, Click Agents, for $40 million. In 2007, Yahoo bought his next ad company, Blue Lithium, for $300 million.

Chahal is facing other legal troubles as well, which he has also denied.

In 2015, two ex-Gravity4 employees filed new lawsuits against Chahal.

One employee alleges a workplace of sexual harassment and gender discrimination. Chahal and several Gravity4 employees publicly denied it.

"As Chairman and CEO of Gravity4, I am shocked at these allegations, as they're simply baseless, false, and can not be supported by facts. We are very clear on knowing what the motives were on having this case filed, and look forward to defending it and clearing the name of Gravity4 based on actual facts," Chahal wrote.

A second lawsuit alleges Chahal never paid an employee before wrongfully terminating him. In response, Chahal tweeted about the lawyer involved in both cases as his statement. These are still working their way through the courts.
