13 May
Summary
- Businessman arrested for allegedly deterring witnesses in fiancée's case.
- He faces felony charges for discouraging testimony and misdemeanor for calls.
- The arrest escalates legal troubles for the couple, with wedding plans disrupted.
A prominent businessman was arrested earlier this week in Los Angeles on a felony charge. The charge stems from allegations that he attempted to discourage witnesses from testifying in an ongoing theft case involving his fiancée. Investigators suspect he specifically targeted three individuals who were allegedly victims of his fiancée's crimes.
In addition to the felony charge, he faces a misdemeanor for allegedly making annoying phone calls to a fourth person connected to the case. This arrest represents a serious escalation of legal troubles for the couple, whose impending wedding in Jerusalem is now in jeopardy.
The fiancée, previously a Penthouse Pet, is accused of targeting wealthy men through dating apps and social circles to steal luxury items and personal information. She has pleaded not guilty to multiple felony charges. Her legal situation had already worsened when a judge ordered her passport surrendered and restricted her travel pending trial.
