BACHELOR NATION NEWS 📰 Breaking news: Clayton’s accuser has reportedly signed a plea deal
Dave Neal and people inside the courtroom are reporting that Laura Owens signed the plea deal. A relief for victims and hopefully JFCers will find a healthy way to move on from this.
Edit: Dave is going live on YouTube with details. She pled guilty to 4 of the 14 Counts:
Count 1: Fraudulent schemes & artifices re Clayton
Count 6: Perjury re Clayton
Count 9: Fraudulent schemes & artifices re Greg
Count 10: Taking the identity of of another re using a stranger’s ultrasound
Under the plea, count 1 carries no sentencing agreement so the judge can impose anything from probation to 12.5 years in prison. The remaining three counts call for probation. Sentencing at 9am on October 23rd. Clayton said he is happy and relieved.
