More than a year after Zac Stacy went viral for brutally beating his ex-girlfriend he appeared in court. In court he pleaded guilty to battery. Stacy was remanded into custody by Orange County Judge Mark Blechman directly after. Once the smoke cleared his ex-girlfriend Kristin Evans who was beaten in the video shard her opinion on social media. According to TMZ, Evans stated she was against putting him behind bars as a result of his abuse. Her reasoning was her stance it would not provide him the resources he would need to get better.
“I didn’t advocate for jail because the lack of resources, the lack of rehabilitation, the lack of education for mental health, and the psychological effect it may have on our son, having already developed a relationship with his father.
Our son consistently FaceTimed his dad several times a week, he spends the entire weekend every other weekend, and he deserves to have that.
So please give me some grace in understanding that I’m not being easy on Zac, rather I am trying to protect our son from anymore trauma.Nothing is black and white and not every abuser is the same. People who are willing to put in work to be better, deserve an opportunity to show that they can be better. Especially with a diagnosable mental illness and significant head trauma caused by Football.”
She also revealed Stacy started cognitive behavioral therapy which resulted in “significant adjustment in his behavior and communication”.
