“Paschel took the victim’s cell phone and did not allow her to leave the residence,” the press release also states. “The victim fled to a neighbor’s house after Paschel fell asleep. Officers noted a large, raised bruise on the victim’s forehead along with bruises and abrasions on her back, arms, and the inside of her lip. She was also diagnosed with a concussion. At trial, Paschel testified that the victim’s bruises were self-inflicted, but the jury discredited his testimony and found him guilty-as-charged.”
The network producing 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days and the rest of the franchise has an obligation to take reasonable steps to ensure the safety of the show’s cast members. Doing basic background checks and keeping tabs on current and potential stars should be standard. Geoffrey’s casting was either a massive oversight or incredibly inappropriate. Either way, Varya and fans should be furious with TLC.
