90 Day Fiancé star Geoffrey Pashcel was sentenced to 18 years in prison without the possibility of parole on Thursday.
In October, Paschel, 44, was convicted on charges of aggravated kidnapping, domestic assault, and interference with emergency calls.
The charges resulted from an incident that occurred in June of 2019 between him and his ex-fiancée Kristen Wilson. Police responded to a domestic disturbance in West Knoxville. When they arrived, Wilson told them that Paschel had assaulted her in her home. Wilson accused Paschel of grabbing her by the neck and slamming her head into a wall. He also threw her on the floor and dragged her, took her cell phone, and refused to let her leave.
Wilson was able to escape to a neighbor’s house after Paschel fell asleep. She was diagnosed with a concussion following the incident. Officers witnessed bruises and abrasions on her body.
Paschel denied assaulting Wilson and claimed her injuries were self-inflicted.
Paschel appeared on Season 4 of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days. The show aired in 2020. He became engaged to Varya Malina, 33, but was not present for the tell-taping due to his legal troubles.
Viewers had called on the network to remove him from the series following the domestic abuse allegations. Paschel has a history of legal woes, including multiple drug trafficking charges.
