Legal team, we are so excited to have our very first interview with a victim in one of the cases we have covered extensively. Former Bachelor Clayton Echard joins us to talk in-depth about how one night with Laura Owens spiraled into a legal nightmare, stemming from a faked pregnancy.Throughout this whole process, Clayton has remained honest to what transpired between him and Laura, and we acknowledge the smart decisions he’s made around how to take on Laura and her manipulation tactics. We appreciate his openness with us, and shoutout to the community of people supporting him who have monumentally helped Clayton get the truth out there.
