Woman Beaten By Astros Prospect Said Yes To His Proposal After

HOUSTON, TX — The story of Danry Vasquez and his girlfriend is unfolding like a train wreck, but in a bizarre, lovey-dovey way. Just one day after showing a surveillance video of the former Houston Astros prospect violently beating his girlfriend inside a stairwell at Whataburger Field in Corpus Christi, TMZ is reporting that the couple got engaged more than a year later.

The 2016 video surfaced Wednesday and shows Vasquez and the woman enter the stairwell through a door. At the top of the stairs, he begins striking her. He follows her down the stairs and continues striking her, dislodging her eyeglasses several times.

Vasquez was 22 at the time and later arrested and charged with a misdemeanor. The case was dismissed after he completed a plea deal with the district attorney's office, in which he had to pay a fine and attend classes.

TMZ reported Thursday that multiple sources tell them Vasquez's girlfriend "begged prosecutors not to push forward with criminal charges after the arrest and stuck by his side the entire time. "

The couple reportedly got engaged around November 2017. TMZ went on to say they were told the stairwell beatdown was an "isolated incident" and that the girlfriend, a long-time sweetheart, has stood by the player who moved to the United States from venezuela to play baseball at age 16. They received this message from the ballplayer's attorney:

"I recall conversations about the extreme stress he was under and the pressures to perform that he was young. Came to USA at a young age with no parents (accommodating him) and no guidance ... just his dreams. She never excused his behavior just loved him enough to believe they could move forward."

NOTE: The video below is violently graphic.

Since the video first posted on YouTube on Tuesday, it's already received more than 2 million views.
