A judge has sentenced Geoffrey Ian Paschel, who previously starred on ”90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Day” to 18 years in prison for domestic violence charges related to a brutal fight with his ex-girlfriend in 2019.

At the sentencing hearing, the prosecution called two witnesses, the victim and Paschel’s ex-wife Allison Moon. Moon testified to similar violent acts that she said were committed to her, ultimately contributing to her leaving her husband with their shared child.

Paschel took the opportunity to address the judge and his exes in the courtroom. He fought back tears and told the judge that he had a beautiful family, children and friends while he begged for mercy.

The prosecution asked for a 16-year sentence due to his three prior drug-related felonies. The defense asked for the lowest possible sentence for a class two offender, 12 years.

Judge Kyle Hixon said ultimately he believed the victims in this case. He called Paschel’s behavior “unacceptable.” He also spoke disparagingly about Paschel’s willingness to share the details of this case with the public, “making a production” out of the situation.

While acknowledging a few of Paschel’s redeeming qualities, like his education, the judge felt 18 years was appropriate for this kind of “sick” and “sadistic” behavior that he said was deeply psychological, going beyond the desire to inflict pain on his victims.
