The Austin parents of the OnlyFans model accused of stabbing and killing her boyfriend are speaking publicly for the first time. Crime Watch reporter Meredith Aldis has the details.
"For more than four years, we've lived with the loss every day and waited for accountability. Today closes a legal chapter, but it certainly doesn't close our grief. No sentence, no plea can bring my son back to me. My only hope is to carry his memory forward and to continue healing as a family," Obumseli said.
Obumseli said she wants to make sure the last four years don’t become the only story people remember about her son.
"I do not want Christian to be remembered only for how he died. Christian was my son. Everyone who knew Christian who truly knew him, can attest that he was kind-hearted, compassionate, friendly, and respectful. He cared about other people," Obumseli said.
Clenney will likely be transferred to prison within the next couple of weeks.
