Pa. man pleads guilty to assault, stalking of girlfriend who stars in TV show 'Amish Mafia'

A central Pennsylvania man has pleaded guilty to beating a star of the TV series "Amish Mafia."

Imir Williams admitted Thursday to assaulting and stalking girlfriend Esther Schmucker, who appears on the Discovery Channel show based in Lancaster County.

Authorities say Williams repeatedly punched Schmucker on Oct. 31 at her Strasburg home and broke her nose, cheekbone and several teeth.

The Intelligencer Journal/Lancaster New Era (http://bit.ly/1lp6pwz) reports Williams had been jailed for the past seven weeks. He was released on bail Monday after serving a month more than the standard penalty for such charges.

Williams was placed on probation for three years and ordered to have no contact with Schmucker.

The 27-year-old victim says she's disappointed Williams wasn't charged with a harsher crime.

Williams is not on the program.

Film at 11...... 😱

Bassard..!! [ram27bat]

She's not really Amish, is she? It's re-enactment tv not reality, isn't it?🤔

I'm so ashamed & disillusioned, DrMaddvibe.

where'd you get that? you didn't learn that from me. had to be Rick.

LMAO! I should be so lucky.

That's what the Pennsylvania Dutch/German call black. Besides, I spent some of the happiest years of my childhood on Long Island. Everyone spoke a smidgeon of yiddish and Italian as they kvetched.

Oh, Lonn_Guyland, I see. Makes sense.

In yiddish schwartzah (shvartzah) is used as a name for black people because it means dark/black, but has been misconstrued as Jewish slang for the N word in recent years. It is not inherently insulting.

Mel Brooks placed it in Blazing Saddles, he was one of two Indians watching the African-American family traveling in a covered wagon and remarked "Look! Schwartzahs! They're darker than we are". Funnier in his Yiddish accent.

I've known people named Schwartz who changed their name to Black...for business purposes of course.
