Then in his 70s, in a wheelchair and on supplementary oxygen, Martin pleaded guilty and was sentenced to time served in January.
He was also indicted on a count of witness tampering, after he threatened to release a woman's sex tape and "take her down with him" if she didn't keep quiet about the slippers.

Keoghan shares a two-year-old son with dental nurse Alyson Kierans — the pair broke up in mid-2023 shortly before he started seeing Carpenter.
