90 Day Fiance as a franchise is no stranger to cast members being arrested.
A lot of the arrests are over minor things -- like driving violations. Some are older arrests, especially among older cast members.
In some cases, the charges were truly victimless.
However, that was not the case with everyone.
Out of the hundreds of people who have appeared on screen, a handful have not only committed unspeakably vile crimes, but been convicted.
On this list that we've put together, you'll find an array of cases ... including a sexual predator, a fugitive from justice accused of murder, an unapologetic domestic abuser, and more.
1. Scottie Deem
Angela Deem's daughter -- not Skyla, but Scottie -- appeared during her first season of Before The 90 Days before Angela flew to Nigeria. Scottie was also indicted on 11 counts of child molestation and one count of statutory rape, sex crimes committed against a minor boy. Apparently, the sexual predation took place in Angela's home.
2. Scottie entered a guilty plea
After she pleaded guilty to a small number of the charges, she was sentenced to three 20-year sentences to be served concurrently. In a glaring indictment of how our justice system fails to protect or seek justice for children, she only served two of those years, being released in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
3. Michael Baltimore
Remember when Ashley Martson found out that Jay Smith, her then-husband, had cheated on her (again?). That's pretty vague, since it happened so many times during their toxic, baffling marriage. So we'll get specific -- the time when she went to the barbershop on camera to learn that Jay had taken a random girl into the bathroom and boned her. Well, one of the men in the barbershop is now dead. The other, Michael Baltimore, is a fugitive from justice and law enforcement believes him to be dangerous. Multiple eyewitnesses identified him as Kendell Cook's shooter, and there is a reward for information leading to his capture.
4. Geoffrey Paschel
This disgraced former Before The 90 Days star has a long, long history of both arrests and of accusations of horrific domestic violence. Most of us are keenly aware of how rarely these evil acts actually lead to prosecution, convictions, or real prison time. For Geoffrey, however, that changed after he attacked and brutally beat his then-fiance, an elementary school teacher named Kristen Wilson, in June of 2019 -- just months before filming for the show with Varya and with Mary.
5. The trial was delayed again and again
In October 2021, with the presentation of ample physical evidence and the heroic testimony provided by Kristen -- whose face had thankfully recovered from the vicious beating that he gave her when he attacked and held her captive in her own home -- Geoffrey was found guilty by a jury of his peers.
6. His sentence was rare and fitting
An attempt by Geoffrey to manipulate his victim into seeking leniency at sentencing, testimony by another ex of Geoffrey, and the judge's own common sense all played a role in sentencing, where the court acknowledged that Geoffrey is a violent and manipulative man who will go on to terrorize other women as soon as he is able. He is now just months into his 18-year prison sentence.
