Clayton Echard was trying to bounce back from his disastrous appearance on “The Bachelor" when he hooked up with a potential real estate investor. Though he claimed they only had oral sex, Laura Owens said she was pregnant with his twins. What came next from her was an unrelenting mix of romantic overtures and legal threats. Clayton became suspicious of Laura’s evasive actions to prove her pregnancy was real. When the reality TV scandal hit the news, Internet sleuths began to pick apart her story. And information emerged that the former Bachelor was not the first man Laura had accused.

From Glass Podcasts and iHeart Podcasts comes “Love Trapped.” Host Stephani Young goes deep into all the twists and turns in the sensational case involving a reality TV celebrity, an unreliable accuser, and the online community obsessed with the story. The series explores whether Laura’s unwavering insistence in her dubious claims are a long con or the product of a disturbed mind.

OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "LOVE TRAPPED" BEGIN IN THE FINAL 13 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.
