Geoffrey Ian Paschel, from 90 Day Fiancé, has been sentenced to 18 years in prison – without parole – for ‘kidnapping’ and ‘sexual assault,’ according to reports.
The 44-year-old, who appeared on the fourth season of the hit TLC show, is believed to have assaulted his ex-fiancée in June 2019.
In a Knox County D.A. statement, it’s alleged that Paschel ‘grabbed the victim by the neck and slammed her head against the wall several times’.

It also stated: “She was also thrown to the ground and dragged. Paschel took the victim’s cell phone and did not allow her to leave the residence.”
At the time, police apparently noted that the victim had ‘bruises,’ and she was reportedly diagnosed with a concussion.
On February 3 of this year, the reality TV star received his sentence, following a two-day trial in October.
It’s believed that during this inquiry, Paschel alleged that his victim’s injuries were ‘self-inflicted’. However, he was found guilty.
Following the sentence, County Tennessee District Attorney Charme Allen released a statement to People magazine.
It reads: “Prosecutors in DA Charme Allen’s Domestic Violence Unit obtained an eighteen-year sentence against a defendant who assaulted his fiancée and refused to let her leave her residence.
“Geoffrey Ian Paschel, 44, was convicted of aggravated kidnapping, domestic assault, and interference with emergency calls. Judge Kyle Hixson ordered Paschel to serve eighteen years in prison without the possibility of parole.”
90 Day Fiancé viewers began demanding that Paschel be ‘removed’ from the show back in 2020 after allegations about the star came out.
Addressing the issue, he said: “I have been repeatedly asked why I would EVER want to be on a show (the best show FYI) where my life would be put in front of everyone to pick apart—especially with my checkered past.
“Well, guys, it is MY past. It is MY life. It is MY choice. If we were all the same: thought the same, looked the same, or acted the same, how lame would that be?”
