The journey continues for Real Housewives of Salt Lake City‘s Mary Cosby and her son, Robert Cosby Jr., who entered his pleas in an SLC court.
PEOPLE reported, “Robert Jr. will remain in jail until February 2026.”
Status update:
Robert Jr. pleaded guilty to assault, violating a protective order, and other charges one day after his wife, Alexiana Arian Smokoff, filed for divorce.
This follows multiple incidents spanning from September to November involving his wife and father-in-law, Shad Stoke.
Mary’s 23-year-old son is “facing 14 charges. He plead guilty to eight charges in total: one count of felony property damage or destruction greater than or equal to $5,000; two counts of violation of a pretrial protective order — obtained by Alexiana, 21 — in addition to one count of assault on a peace officer, one count of violation of a jail release court order, two counts of criminal trespass on a dwelling with intent to cause annoyance, injury, or fear (all Class A misdemeanors); and one count of Class B misdemeanor assault. Six misdemeanor charges were dismissed with prejudice.”
The ex factor:
Alexiana filed for divorce on Monday, Nov. 24. The petition for divorce requires that both parties not “harass, intimidate or disturb the peace of the other party, by any means, including electronically.”
The documents reviewed included a list of prohibited actions on behalf of either party. They are not to “commit domestic violence or abuse against the other party or a child, use the other party’s name, likeness, image, or identification to get credit, open an account for service, or obtain a service, cancel or interfere with telephone, utility, or other services used by the other party, cancel, modify, terminate, change the beneficiary.”
The sentencing:
Robert Jr. was booked into Salt Lake County Jail on Nov. 9 and will remain there without bail until his sentencing on Feb. 3, when a judge will determine the length of his remaining sentence.
“Indictments filed by Utah prosecutors previously accused Robert Jr. of attempting to climb through a dog door to break into his father-in-law’s home on two occasions. In one incident, he attacked his father-in-law on his front lawn. Court documents noted that Alexiana was staying at the residence at the time.”
“In a November indictment, prosecutors claimed Robert Jr. vandalized his father-in-law’s home and bit a law enforcement officer on the hand, “breaking the skin,” after the officer took him to the ground for allegedly failing to stop when ordered to do so. ‘A taser was finally used to bring [Robert Jr.] under control,’ the indictment said.”
