Overview

• Laura Owens, daughter of radio personality Ronn Owens, was indicted on seven felony counts, including fraud, forgery, perjury, and evidence tampering.
• The charges stem from a 2023 paternity suit in which Owens alleged she was pregnant with twins by former 'Bachelor' star Clayton Echard.
• Investigators found Owens fabricated evidence, including altering an ultrasound and creating a fake pregnancy video, and lied under oath multiple times.
• In 2024, a judge ruled Owens' claims were fraudulent, awarding Echard attorneys' fees and referring her for prosecution.
• Echard denied paternity, stating their interaction involved no intercourse, and expressed relief over the indictment, while Owens has yet to comment.
