“90 Day Fiancé” fans are still reeling from the recent child abuse accusations that Deavan Clegg made against her husband, Jihoon Lee. The couple has been estranged since July when Deavan traveled to the United States to celebrate July 4th holiday. At the time, the American reality star downplayed her separation from Jihoon by claiming that she had returned to her home country because of the coronavirus pandemic. However, Jihoon and Deavan’s marriage has crumbled in the past few months, and the latest child abuse allegations caught fans by surprise.
If Deavan can support her assertions, Jihoon could face a lengthy prison sentence.
Possible prison sentence
According to child protection laws in Korea, child abuse offenders face a minimum of five years in prison. However, it is still unclear whether Deavan will pursue charges against her husband after she accused him of abusing Drascilla, her five-year-old daughter. Since Deavan is currently living in the United States, she could request Jihoon’s extradition to have him charged according to American law. The Korean reality star would face life imprisonment if he was found guilty of sexually abusing Drascilla. Nevertheless, Deavan has not described the nature of her child abuse allegations, and “90 Day Fiancé” viewers will have to follow her on social media to get more details.
Unfortunately for fans, the 23-year-old will not participate in the “90 Day Fiancé” season-ending Tell All episodes.
TLC has allegedly banned Deavan and Jihoon from its Tell All episodes
Yesterday, a well know reality TV blogger, John Yates revealed that Deavan and Jihoon will not feature on Tell All episodes due to the unresolved child abuse allegations between the couple.
The network has not released an official statement to confirm the news, but it seems TLC is uncomfortable with the idea of allowing Jihoon and Deavan to confront each other during the Tell All episodes. In a past Instagram post, Deavan had promised fans that she would reveal all the details surrounding her recent break up with her Korean husband.
Before the child abuse allegations came to light, Deavan had told her followers that she had initiated divorce proceedings against Jihoon.
In a scathing Instagram post, Deavan asked fans to stop criticizing her decision to move on from Jihoon. The 23-year-old reality star is currently dating, Christopher Park, an actor based in Los Angeles. A section of “90 Day Fiancé” viewers had criticized Deavan for getting into a new relationship before she had finalized her divorce to Jihoon. However, the American reality star hit back at her detractors by revealing that Jihoon had refused to sign their divorce papers. Following Deavan’s latest child abuse allegations, fans are looking forward to seeing whether Jihoon will give his side of the story.
