Former Bachelorette contestant Charlie Stanley Newling has been convicted after sending chilling messages to his mother, threatening to kill his stepdad.
On Thursday, Charlie was convicted and charged with using a carriage service to threaten to kill his mum’s husband of two decades.
Charles, who appeared on Ali Oetjen’s season of The Bachelorette, was allegedly drunk when he sent the messages.
His lawyer Scott Schaudin said his client struggled with alcohol abuse.

“You are still controlled by that flog of a husband,” one message wrote.
“I’m going to kill him one day in front of you before I go.”
“You have no idea what im capable of but just know it’s not going to be pretty.”
The messages from Charlie only worsened.
Charlie appeared on Ali Oetjen’s season of The Bachelorette in 2018,

“I hope you’ve got a good guard dog because the cops aren’t going to do s–t even with an AVO on me. They’re not gonna sit outside your house. How’s it feel knowing your C— of a husband has a knife coming to his neck, you have no idea where or when.”
Magistrate Ross Hudson said the messages caused ‘fear, torment and horror’.
According to the Magistrate, Charlie suffered childhood trauma, particularly after having to care for his biological father who became paraplegic following an accident. He sadly died in 2018, after an overdose of pain medication.
Initially, Charlie had been refused bail and was in custody since August 17. Magistrate Ross Hudson has sentenced the ex-Bachelorette star to a 13-month prison sentence to be serviced in the community.
At the time of the messages, Charlie was allegedly on another court order after a mid-range drink driving offence in 2021.
Charlie featured on The Bachelorette in 2018 but was asked to leave by Ali after choosing not to introduce her to the family.
