Former 90 Days Fiance star Geoffrey Paschel was sentenced to 18-years jail time with no possibility of parole on February 3, in a Tennessee court.

The 44-year-old has been has been charged with aggravated kidnapping, domestic assault and interference with emergency calls, and has been held in police custody since October 2021.

During his sentencing, prosecutors said Paschel should be classified as a Range-II Offender due to past drug convictions, and testimony from Wilson and his ex-wife that he had physically abused them.

US Weekly reported that Paschel has been found guilty of multiple charges stemming from an incident on June 9, 2019, with his ex-fiancée Kristen Wilson.

Wilson told Knox County Sheriff's Office deputies that Paschel had attacked her, grabbed her neck and repeatedly struck her head against a wall. Wilson informed authorities that Paschel had thrown her body to the floor and dragged her across it.

In the aftermath of the incident, officers observed Wilson had bruises on her forehead, back, arms and mouth, and she was later diagnosed with a concussion.

Wilson told authorities that Paschel refused to let her have her phone and leave the house during the incident. However, she managed to get away when he went to sleep, and took a neighbor's phone to contact authorities.

During Paschel's criminal trial last October in Knox County Criminal Court, the District Attorney General's Office told outlet WBIR that Paschel told them that Wilson injured herself. Officials said the hearing ended two days later.

In a video clip shown during the trial, Paschel solicited people to bring his kids to Wilson's house to persuade her to ask the court to be lenient toward him while he was in jail.
