‘Love Island’ star Cashel Barnett police plead for deal in sex abuse case

‘Love Island’ Contestant Cashel Barnett has reached a settlement in his domestic violence case… and it appears he will spend the next year behind bars.

According to new legal documents obtained by TMZ, Cashel agreed to plead guilty to one count of aggravated assault in the third degree and one count of domestic violence in the third degree in the presence of a child.

Cashel will be sentenced in a Utah court on March 16… and the documents show prosecutors will push for him to get a year in jail and then probation.

We broke the story… prosecutors in Utah hit Cashel with a slew of charges last year after he allegedly attacked his ex-girlfriend in front of their 1-year-old daughter.

Cashel has been locked up since at least May.

A source close to the alleged victim tells TMZ … she told prosecutors she didn’t think this plea deal was fair, but if it was the best offer, she would approve it to avoid a trial and re-traumatization.
