The father of the so-called"affluenza teen" has been charged with assault stemming from an incident in which he allegedly choked his girlfriend, according to Texas prosecutors.
The Tarrant County Assistant District Attorney says that Frederick Couch, father of Ethan Couch, was charged in an alleged choking episode in July,Ethan Couch made national news as a 16-year-old when his attorneys invoked an"affluenza" defense after Ethan Couch was charged with killing four people in a 2013 drunken-driving crash.
His defense at trial included a witness who said Ethan Couch's parents coddled him so much that it gave him no sense of responsibility for his actions. A psychologist at the manslaughter trial dubbed it"affluenza." That condition isn't recognized as a diagnosis by the American Psychiatric Association.
A juvenile court sentenced Ethan Couch to 10 years' probation, and in December 2015, he was accused of violating that probation after video appeared to show him at a party where alcohol was served.
