Hugh Hefner's Son Arrested, Charged with Domestic Violence

On Sunday, February 12, Playboy founder Hugh Hefner's 21-year-old son, Marston Hefner, was arrested for attacking his girlfriend, 20-year-old Playmate of the Year Claire Sinclair. After being charged with misdemeanor domestic violence, Hefner was released on a $20,000 bail, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

Allegedly, Marston Hefner had punched and kicked his girlfriend, and would not let her leave the house. Sinclair called family members, who reported the domestic violence to the police. Some sources are saying that police observed bruises and other physical signs of abuse on Sinclair when they arrived.

Family relationships and romantic partnerships carry the potential for a great deal of tension, which can sometimes explode in physical or verbal assault. If convicted of domestic violence, you may face a number of criminal consequences. In addition to a physical fight, domestic violence charges can stem from:

  • Sexual assault
  • Harassment
  • Stalking
  • False imprisonment
  • Breaking a restraining order

Regardless of how you and the other person involved decide to resolve the matter personally, the criminal defense attorneys at the Umansky Law Firm stand ready to help you resolve the legal ramifications of your situation.
