Former 'Teen Mom 2' Dad Nathan Griffith is Heading to Prison After Pleading Guilty to Recent Felony Battery by Strangulation Charge - The Ashley's Reality Roundup

Trigger Warning: This story contains descriptions of domestic violence.
is heading to prison.
Starcasm broke the news on Tuesday— and can confirm— that the former dad pleaded guilty to a charge of “Battery Constituting Domestic Violence- Strangulation” as part of plea agreement at a hearing on Monday. That charge— which is a felony— stems from Nathan’s arrest in April for strangling his girlfriend . At the time of his arrest, the baby daddy of was already on probation for strangling his sister in 2023.
As The Ashley previously told you, the terms of Nathan’s probation for his 2023 conviction were very clear, stating that, if Nathan violated his probation, he will go to prison for between 12 to 48 months. Since catching yet another domestic violence/strangulation charge very much violates his probation, Nathan is headed to prison in Nevada. (According to Starcasm, the minimum sentence for Nathan is now 14 months in prison.)

Nathan was aware that he was going to prison if he violated his probation. When he signed the plea agreement in 2023 it that stated, “I am pleading guilty, including the use of any prior convictions I may have to increase my sentence as a habitual criminal…”
Exactly how many months Nathan will be spending in prison is still to be determined. A hearing is set for May 28 where he will be officially sentenced. Until then, Nathan will remain behind bars at the Clark County Jail. He is scheduled to go to a probation revocation hearing on Thursday.

As The Ashley previously reported, Jenelle immediately took to TikTok to defend Nathan after his arrest, with his former soulmate stating that she didn’t believe that Nathan got physical with his girlfriend, and that Anastasia was just as much at fault for what happened as Nathan was. (Jenelle— who shares son Kaiser with Nathan— even offered Nate a place to stay on the night the cops were looking for him.)
The Ashley obtained the arrest report, as well as the domestic violence report, from the night Nathan was arrested and it tells a different story than the one Jenelle told on TikTok in defense of Nathan.
According to the report, Anastasia told the cops that Nathan had been drinking for the few days leading up to the arrest and that he had “started to become aggressive with her.” (Nathan has been arrested for numerous alcohol-related crimes over the years, and was not supposed to be getting drunk, per his 2023 probation terms.)

“Today [Anastasia] told [Nathan] that they were breaking up and she got in her car to call his mom [],” the report states. “While [Anastasia was] on the phone with his mom, he came out to the car and took her phone away from her, later giving it back.”
Anastasia stated that she remained in the car and Nathan went back inside the home and called her.
“[Nathan] begged [Anastasia] to come back inside of the house and cuddle with him one last time and [Anastasia] agreed, as long as [Nathan] would leave,” the report states. (Nathan had been staying at Anastasia’s mom’s house with her, by the way.)
“While on the bed laying down, [Nathan] got on top of [Anastasia] and grabbed both of her arms. At one point, he let go and wrapped both of his hands around her neck and strangled her for a couple of seconds. [Nathan] would let go of her neck and grab [Anastasia’s] arms again. [Nathan] repeated this approximately three times. [Anastasia] was finally able to leave the residence and call the police.”
Despite Nathan (and later Jenelle) claiming that he didn’t get physical with her, the cops noted some wounds on Anastasia’s body.
“I observed reddening and multiple marks on [Anastasia’s] neck, as well as reddening on her right bicep area,” the officer wrote. “Photos were taken of the injuries.”
In the weeks since Nathan’s arrest, Anastasia has gone Live on social media several times to declare she’s done with Nathan— and to criticize Jenelle, as well as Nathan’s wife for getting involved. (As The Ashley told you, May even called 911 requesting a police escort several days after Nathan’s arrest. The duo went to Anastasia’s house to attempt to retrieve some of Nate’s things but were unsuccessful.)
Nathan’s assault on Anastasia was at least the third time the former ‘Teen Mom 2’ star has been charged with strangling a woman. In addition to his assault on his sister, Nathan was charged with committing “Domestic Battery by Strangulation” in February 2023 for an attack on a girlfriend in Palm Beach County, Florida. (He was dating this girl while “on break” from his marriage to May.) His charges for that incident were dismissed, due to the victim being “uncooperative.”
As of press time, none of Nathan’s trio of former lovers— Jenelle, May and Anastasia— have spoken out about Nathan preparing to head to prison.
