Mistress testifies in Caleb Flynn trial, reading 107,000 messages that detail violent fantasies
Alleigha Botner, the former mistress of Caleb Flynn, testified for two days in his Ohio murder trial, reading excerpts from 107,000 messages exchanged during their 1.5-year affair. Prosecutors used these texts to establish motive, highlighting Flynn’s repeated expressions of hatred toward his wife, Ashley, and fantasies about killing her. Botner stated she now believes Flynn murdered Ashley on February 16, 2026, citing the suspicious timing of his planned divorce announcement. The defense argues that while the affair shows motive, there is no physical evidence, such as a weapon, linking Flynn to the crime.
