True Crime YouTube star Jonathan Lee Riches, aka JLR Investigates, is accused of brutally beating, strangling and threatening to kill a former girlfriend, she claims in court documents.
In a sworn petition filed in Arkansas, Jaime Tennille Phillips claims Riches, 49, carried out a violent attack on Christmas Eve 2025, capping what she describes as a years-long pattern of abuse that included him repeatedly strangling her.
The filing, obtained by The Post, alleges Riches — a convicted felon who spent 10 years in federal prison over a credit card fraud scheme — was in a relationship with Phillips beginning early 2023 that spiraled into “a persistent and escalating pattern of domestic abuse, coercive control, intimidation, financial exploitation, and physical violence.”
According to the handwritten affidavit, the alleged Dec. 24 assault left Phillips with “extreme injuries, including broken nose + septum, significant trauma to my head and ribs,” requiring emergency medical care, CT scans and X-rays — and that she will need reconstructive surgery.
Phillips claims Riches assaulted her on multiple occasions, beat her with a closed fist in a separate alleged Aug. 2025 attack, strangled her roughly two dozen times, and threatened to kill her if she reported him, the filing alleges.
She also alleges ongoing harassment after the Christmas incident, which took place in Washington state, including threats, intimidation, and financial abuse.
