90 Day Fiance star Geoffrey Paschel has been found guilty of charges including kidnapping, domestic violence and vandalism by a Tennessee jury.
In an incident that occurred on June 9, 2019, the 44-year-old - a participant on season four of Before The 90 Days - was accused of beating his then-partner Kristen Wilson Chapman at their home.
The Knox County District Attorney General's Office said in a statement: "Paschel grabbed the victim by the neck and slammed her head against the wall several times.
"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. 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."
Paschel is due to be sentenced on December 3, when he is likely to face 12 to 20 years in prison without the possibility of parole.
