David Eason Faces New Felony Charge for Allegedly Strangling Stepson Jace.
“He Put His Hands Around My Neck”: David Eason’s Shocking New Charge Rocks Teen Mom World
The past few months have been a rollercoaster for Jenelle Evans and David Eason. From Jenelle’s public defense of her husband amidst child abuse allegations to their seemingly harmonious family updates, the Teen Mom stars have kept fans on their toes.
But now, a chilling new development has thrown their lives into turmoil once again: David Eason has been charged with a felony for allegedly strangling his stepson Jace.
A Shocking Turn of Events
News broke on Wednesday that Eason was indicted by a grand jury on charges of assault by strangulation, a class H felony in Columbus, Ohio. The accusation stems from an incident back in September 2023, when Jace, then 14, ran away from their home in North Carolina.
According to court documents, Jace told authorities that during an argument with Eason, his stepfather “put his hands around my neck and squeezed,” making it difficult for him to breathe. Imagine the horror! Jace’s claims, corroborated by medical records showing marks on his neck, led to the recent indictment.
David Eason’s Legal History
This isn’t the first time Eason has faced accusations of child abuse. In October 2023, he was charged with misdemeanor child abuse after Jace’s initial runaway episode. However, those charges were later dropped due to insufficient evidence. This latest development, however, carries significantly heavier consequences, with a potential sentence of up to 39 months in prison if convicted.
A Social Media Divide
Jenelle Evans, who has stood by her husband throughout previous accusations, has yet to publicly comment on the latest charges. Fans, however, have expressed a range of emotions, with many taking to social media to express their shock and concern for Jace’s well-being. Others, however, remain skeptical, urging caution and due process before jumping to conclusions.
Fan’s Reaction:
Twitter becomes a battleground as concerned fans express their worry for Jace’s well-being, urging Jenelle Evans to prioritize her son’s safety over defending his alleged abuser. @concernedfan123 implores, “Jenelle, wake up! Your son needs you to stand up for him, not defend his abuser!” Meanwhile, @justiceforjace points to a perceived pattern, stating, “This is a pattern with David. This can’t keep happening. Protect Jace!”
On the other side of the spectrum, a cautious user advocates for reserving judgment, emphasizing the principle of “innocent until proven guilty.” Acknowledging the need to await all the facts, this user highlights the importance of legal processes in determining David Eason’s guilt or innocence.
Final Words
David Eason’s new felony charge casts a dark shadow over the Teen Mom franchise and raises serious questions about the safety of Jenelle’s children as well. Only time will tell how this legal battle plays out, but one thing is certain: the scars of this incident will likely stay with all for years to come.
