The long-running paternity dispute involving Laura Owens and former "Bachelor" star Clayton Echard has taken a dramatic turn. Owens now faces seven felony charges in Arizona, including fraudulent schemes, forgery, four counts of perjury, and tampering with physical evidence.
Prosecutors allege Owens fabricated a pregnancy between May 2023 and June 2024, altering an ultrasound and creating a fake video for her paternity suit. Her "inconsistent statements" during a hearing led to the grand jury indictment.
For Clayton Echard, who endured a highly public and emotionally taxing legal battle, this news brings closure. A paternity test confirmed he was not the biological father, and Owens later dropped her claim, citing a miscarriage. Echard expressed immense relief, stating, "Justice is finally served. This nightmare is over."
Laura Owens, however, vehemently denies the charges. She claims to be a victim of "coordinated harassment" and maintains she had "lab-confirmed, positive hCG (pregnancy hormone) blood and urine tests," vowing to "defend myself, fully and relentlessly."
