TEEN Mom star Nathan Griffith now faces 25 years in prison with just one more wrong move after his arrest for strangling his girlfriend.
According to his plea deal obtained by The U.S. Sun, the former Teen Mom 2 star and father to Jenelle Evans' middle child, Kaiser, faces severe penalties should he get in legal trouble again.
On Monday, Nathan, 37, pleaded guilty to battery constituting domestic violence by strangulation.
Nathan was already on probation for strangling his sister in 2023 when he was arrested for strangling his girlfriend, Anastasia Biddle, 21, on April 23.
As part of the deal, the MTV star agreed "to serve a sentence of 14 to 48 months in the Nevada Department of Corrections."
According to the document, Nathan agreed to plead guilty to the charge in part because of his prior plea agreement from 2023, when he pleaded guilty to a slightly lesser charge of "attempted battery by strangulation" in a case involving his sister.
Nathan's sister, Heather Griffith, previously opened up to The U.S. Sun about her allegations against her reality star brother that led to the 2023 charge.
In his latest plea deal, he said he acknowledged that if he should face any new criminal charges "including reckless driving or DUI, but excluding minor traffic violations," the State of Nevada may "increase my sentence as a habitual criminal, from five to 20 years, or a definite 25-year team with the possibility of parole after 10 years."
The former Teen Mom franchise star is set to be sentenced later this month and acknowledged that the court must sentence him "to imprisonment in the Nevada Department of Corrections for a minimum of one year and a maximum of no more than five years."
He might also be fined up to $10,000 and he must also submit to blood and/or saliva tests.
Starcasm was the first to report on Nathan's latest plea deal.
Teen Mom Jenelle Evans’ ex Nathan Griffith arrested and jailed for ‘domestic battery by strangulation’ in Las Vegas
DOWNWARD SPIRAL
Following his late-night arrest in April, Nathan was immediately taken into custody in his hometown of Las Vegas.
During an April 24 court hearing, Nathan was ordered to remain in jail and was issued a no-contact order, barring him from reaching out to his ex-girlfriend.
Anastasia later confirmed to her followers that she was the victim.
She also released, and then quickly deleted, an audio recording in which Nathan appeared to ask her not to attend his next court date in an attempt to have the case dismissed.
Anastasia announced that the relationship is now over and has removed all photos of Nathan from her Instagram account.
Jenelle, 33, revealed to fans that Nathan had called her after the altercation with Anastasia, and despite claiming he hadn’t seen their son Kaiser in two years, she offered to help him.
Both Jenelle and Nathan currently reside in Las Vegas.
“I said, ‘Listen, you can come over here, you can spend the night and stay in Kaiser’s room because he has a queen-size bed,’” Jenelle explained.
“But in a few days, you’ve got to figure out what you’re doing. I’m only offering because he’s Kaiser’s father."
The U.S. Sun previously reported that Nathan had plans to move to Tennessee last fall to be closer to Kaiser, who at the time was living with Nathan’s mom, Doris.
However, those plans never came to fruition.
