After Ben Ledyard’s second wife was murdered in 2019, he was charged with attacking third wife. Now, he faces new accusations in Kennett Square

Victim Stephanie Ledyard begged the court to give her husband probation, but the judge said pictures of her New Year’s Day beating looked like “autopsy photos.”

Authorities dropped the more serious charge of first-degree assault for a second alleged attack against Stephanie Ledyard.

An arrest warrant says Benjamin Ledyard attacked his wife with a marble block on New Year’s Day and previously bit off the tip of her finger.
