The ex-girlfriend ofZac Stacyis speaking out about the alleged abuse she faced at the hands of the former NFL running back.
On Wednesday — following the release of the viral video, which appears to show Stacy assaulting Kristin Evans — she described her fears to 9th Circuit Judge Mark Blechman in court after the Nov. 13 incident that allegedly left her with “serious and likely permanent” injuries,CNNreports.
Evans also reportedly requested that Stacy be required to wear an ankle monitor and his bond amount be increased following his release from Orange County Jail last week after posting $10,150 bail. TheOrlando Sentinelalso reports that Blechman denied both requests, stating that it’s “prohibited.”
“The purpose of bond is to ensure the safety of the community and the primary purpose is to ensure your presence [for court proceedings],” the judge told Stacy in court, per the outlet. “I’m not going to modify your bond amount. I think the amount is appropriate, only based upon your appearance today.”
As Stacy remains out of jail, his attorney, Thomas Luka, told PEOPLEthat the former Jets player will enter an inpatient mental health treatment program on Dec. 1 for 30 days.
