Christy Mack reportedly had a difficult time on Friday during her testimony against ex-boyfriend Jonathan Koppenhaver, breaking down in tears as she recounted how he beat her and threatened her with a knife.
The model and adult film star upheld every count against Koppenhaver–an MMA fighter who goes by the name War Machine–and said she thought he was going to end her life. Koppenhaver, meanwhile, reportedly laughed during her testimony, which angered the judge. Mack said she was the victim of sexual abuse during their relationship, and one of the felony counts against Koppenhaver is sexual assault. He faces 33 more felony charges, which could get him life in prison. He will appear in court again on November 20.
Koppenhaver ran from authorities after the assault took place and was allegedly tracked to a hotel in Simi Valley. Mack suffered 18 broken bones around her eyes, a broken nose, several broken teeth, a broken rib, and a ruptured liver in the attack and has undergone surgery on her face and mouth in recent weeks to repair the damage.
