OFFENDER ADMITS TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN PREGNANCY RESULTING IN PREMATURE BIRTH AND INJURY TO TWINS

Jay Junior, the father of twin girls, has been involved in domestic violence and physical abuse towards his pregnant partner, Ziarye Freeman. The article reports that Jay has admitted to punching and spitting on Ziarye in the months leading up to her giving birth prematurely at just 23 weeks. Ziarye, 19, tragically lost her daughter Za'Riya Jhene after going into labor early, and her other daughter Ja'Kiya Renae remains hospitalized on a breathing tube after undergoing multiple surgeries. The abusive behavior was detailed by Ziarye, who said Jay would spit on her, break her phones, and punch her in the stomach during moments of anger or upset. She claimed that punching her stomach was never intentional and that they would get into fights where she would swing and defend herself. Jay admits to the physical abuse, blaming it on arguments and rowdy fights, stating that he only punched her after she attacked him during heated arguments. He regrets his actions, saying he wished he could take everything back and that his daughter will have to grow up in a broken home because of his mistakes. The article notes that Jay was the father of her twins and that his assaults contributed to her early labor and the complicated medical conditions her children now face.
