Robert Cosby Jr., 23, the son of "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" star Mary Cosby, has pleaded guilty to eight charges, including felony property damage and assault. These pleas were entered in Salt Lake County District Court following a series of incidents between September and November. His guilty plea occurred just one day after his wife, Alexiana Smokoff, 21, filed for divorce. The divorce petition includes provisions prohibiting harassment and domestic violence.
Cosby Jr.'s legal troubles include violations of a protective order obtained by his wife, criminal trespass, and assault on a peace officer. His lawyer stated that Cosby Jr. struggled with accepting the end of his marriage, given his religious background and his parents' long-standing union. Despite his mother's initial devastation, Mary Cosby has expressed that the September arrest was ultimately "for his good."
