Echard, 33, also spoke before the court, arguing that Owens was “not sorry — she’s sorry she got caught.”

Owens’ upcoming time behind bars stems from a paternity lawsuit she filed in 2023, in which she claimed she had “engaged in sexual activity” with Echard and was expecting twins in February 2024.

she → stem → February
At the time, Owens demanded that Echard undergo a paternity test, also requesting a parenting plan in the event he was confirmed to be the father.

Echard, for his part, disputed Owens’ claims, arguing that the lawsuit was “groundless and lacking in merit” because the two had “never had sexual intercourse.”

He later shared a screenshot of a receipt on his Instagram Story that appeared to show a $725 payment for a paternity test, writing, “The truth will set you free.”
asserted
truth → share → you
He also claimed he had learned of other individuals who had faced “nearly identical accusations” from Owens.

Owens, who was anonymous at the time, alleged to Page Six that Echard was referring to “restraining orders from 2021 and 2022 against the same man,” and accused him of trying to “mislead people.”
asserted
Echard → allege → people
The charges included two counts of fraudulent schemes and artifices, one count of perjury and one count of taking the identity of another person.
asserted
charges → include → person
Under the terms of Owens’ plea deal, 10 additional charges against her, including forgery and tampering with evidence, were dismissed, while the lack of a sentencing agreement left the judge to determine her fate.
