Onlyfans Star'S High-Profile Murder Trial Gets 2026 Date Amid Turbulent Legal Drama

OnlyFans Creator's Legal Saga: New Trial Date Set for 2026

Courtney Clenney, a well-known OnlyFans model, is set to face a jury in early 2026 over allegations of fatally stabbing her boyfriend, Christian Obumseli, in their upscale Miami apartment over three years ago. At a recent hearing, Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge Andrea Ricker Wolfson scheduled the trial for April 27, 2026, while denying Clenney’s latest request to dismiss the case and secure her release from jail.

Clenney, who once captivated over 2 million followers on OnlyFans, has been in custody since her August 2022 arrest in Hawaii. Authorities claim she stabbed Obumseli, 27, on April 3, 2022, inside their Miami condo. The prosecution highlights a volatile relationship between the two, while Clenney's defense asserts she acted in self-defense.

“She’s facing life in prison, judge. There’s really no way to sugarcoat this,” remarked prosecutor Shawn Abuhoff, emphasizing the gravity of the charges against Clenney.

Defense Seeks Freedom Amidst Legal Turbulence

Initially scheduled for December, Clenney’s trial experienced delays due to the withdrawal of the previous lead prosecutor, coupled with allegations of misconduct. Assistant State Attorney Khalil Quinan resigned after a judge found that prosecutors had improperly accessed communications between Clenney’s parents and their attorneys.

During the hearing, Clenney's legal team aimed to secure her release, arguing that she poses neither a flight risk nor a danger to the community. They suggested house arrest in her family's Texas home as a viable alternative. Frank Prieto, Clenney’s attorney, highlighted changes in her financial situation, asserting that she is now "broke" and suffering from PTSD and substance issues.

Prosecution Maintains Opposition to Release

Prosecutors remain firm against Clenney’s release, citing potential risks. They argue she has transferred funds to her father, maintaining financial resources that could facilitate evasion. Abuhoff stressed her history of violating court conditions in other states, as well as the serious charge of second-degree murder.

The court has scheduled the next hearing for January 20, as both sides prepare for what promises to be a high-profile trial followed closely by fans and the public alike.
