Domestic Assault Charges Dropped Against Christian Barmore

Massachusetts prosecutors have formally dismissed domestic assault and battery charges against Patriots defensive lineman Christian Barmore, stating the case was not viable for prosecution after the victim became unwilling to testify. Barmore, who started 16 games in 2025 and remains under contract through 2028, can now focus on the upcoming season. The organization monitored the legal process throughout the 2025 season while Barmore participated in counseling.
