Former OnlyFans model sentenced to six years for killing Nigerian man

Former OnlyFans model Courtney Clenney has been sentenced to six years in prison after pleading guilty to manslaughter in the 2022 killing of her boyfriend and Nigerian man, Christian Obumseli, in Miami, Florida.

Clenney, 30, pleaded guilty on Monday to manslaughter with a deadly weapon as part of a plea agreement that brought an end to a case that had remained in the public spotlight for more than four years.

She was also sentenced to five years of probation after her release.

According to reports by CBS News and Fox News, Clenney will receive credit for the nearly four years she has already spent in custody since her arrest in August 2022. As a result, she is expected to spend about two more years in prison before beginning her probation.

Obumseli, 27, was fatally stabbed on April 3, 2022, inside the Miami apartment he shared with Clenney.

She was initially charged with second-degree murder and had maintained that she acted in self-defence during a confrontation with Obumseli.

Her lawyers had argued that Obumseli was abusive and that Clenney threw a knife at him while trying to protect herself.

Prosecutors, however, presented evidence concerning what they described as a troubled relationship involving repeated domestic conflicts.

Under the plea agreement, the original murder charge was replaced with manslaughter with a deadly weapon.

Miami-Dade prosecutor Shawn Abuhoff told the court that Clenney was accepting responsibility for her actions.
