A man was accused of rape and as a result, his wife filed for divorce. David Joseph Jansen was arrested by the police late Tuesday night after allegations of abducting a woman, driving her to a Tennessee cabin, and then raping her there.
Consequently after this, the sad fact is that on Friday, his wife, Christy Jansen from Snellville, filed for divorce in the County Superior Court of Gwinnett. The Jensen couple has been married for almost 25 years.
Reports say that a pizza delivery man saw the woman tied up so he called the police. David Jensen was caught, and on Thursday night, the 46-year-old suspect was released from jail on $800,000 bond. He hung up the phone on a reporter when he was contacted on Saturday afternoon.
A restraining order was also granted to Christy Jansen. The order prohibited David from coming near her and their two children in their Snellville home.
Margaret Washburn, a Lawrenceville attorney, is the legal counsel of Christy. Washburn told WXIA, “Christy is devastated and terrified. She cannot believe that her husband is out with another woman. Whether rape or not, consensual or not, the fact remains that he’s out with another woman.”
