Hope Solo: Married Jerramy Stevens One Day After Alleged Assault

In late 2012, Hope married her now-husband Jerramy exactly one day after Jerramy allegedly attacked Hope at a residence in Kirkland, Wash. The couple tied the knot in a secret ceremony despite the fact that Jerramy had been taken to court on charges of fourth degree domestic violence just one day prior. He was ultimately let go due to insufficient evidence.
