According to The NY Post, Johnny Charles Ebbs V’s took a plea deal for eight years of deferred adjudication on a third-degree continuous family violence assault charge, which means that he was not found guilty at the time of sentencing and will have his offense dismissed as long as he doesn’t violate his probation.
Authorities said Ebbs beat and hospitalized his pregnant girlfriend, LaShonda Lemons, back in 2018. Three days later, the unborn child passed away due to blunt force trauma.
Ebbs was initially charged with aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury, assault impeding breath/circulation and continuous violence against family.
“Additional evidence gathered through the course of the investigation made clear that the facts do not support the initial allegation,” the Travis County District Attorney’s Office said in a statement this week.
