Geoffrey Paschel, 42, from Tennessee, appeared in court to be accused of attacking an old lover

A man seeking love in the new series of 90 Day Fiance has appeared in court to be accused of attacking an old lover and has previously been accused of abuse in a court filing by one of his two ex-wives.

Geoffrey Paschel, 42, from Tennessee, appears in the latest series of the TLC show as a single father hoping to find his happily ever after with Varya, 30.

He has now been charged with aggravated kidnapping, domestic assault, interference with emergency calls and vandalism.

Paschel was first arrested in June after the woman, who has not been named, called police claiming he attacked her in their Tennessee home.

'He repeatedly bashed/slammed my head into the hardwood floors of my home.

'He dragged me through the house by my hair and continued throwing my body into walls and furniture.

'I know this because of blood on my walls, furniture,' the girlfriend alleged in a court filing.

Paschel told the court she lied to try to sabotage his ongoing custody battle with his ex-wife.

That woman has also accused him of abuse, saying in court documents that he 'repeatedly raped her'.

He claimed she was an unfit mother and had left one of their two sons unattended.

Paschel was also accused by the woman of disabling her phone so she could not call 911.

It is unclear what the status of his relationship with Varya is.

TLC did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com's inquiries on Friday about the recent court appearance or of the past allegations of abuse.

Outside court, Paschel told local reporters in Nashville he was innocent.

He is due back in court in March.
