Eric Hyett's headed to jail.

The 37-year old first crossed our radar last month after he "absconded" to Israel with his son, a son with whom he shares custody with his estranged husband, Joshua Glazer (pictured).

Glazer and his family followed Hyett to Israel, where local officials helped reclaim the son, Jedediah, and the group soon returned to the States, where Hyett was arrested for custodial interference.

Now, rather than going to trial, Hyett, who shared his side of the story with us, pleaded guilty and will be settling into a 45-day jail sentence. Had he gone to trial and been found guilty, Hyett could have faced four years in prison.

Yesterday we passed on Eric Hyett's take on the gay dad "kidnap" tale. You know, the story about how he took his son Jedediah to Israel without consulting estranged husband Joshua Glazer.

Well, now Glazer's lawyers are offering their own take on the matter, especially Hyett's claims that Glazer lied to an Israeli court.

Though he won't offer any new comments, Glazer representative Sam Ferrara had this to say:

Other than to confirm that the version of events presented to you by Mr Hyett is factually inaccurate and can be best borne out by the court documents, as well as assure you that the Israeli court did NOT make any determination based upon unsubstantiated allegations, we cannot comment further pending the upcoming hearings.

It is our sincere belief that our confidence in both the Israeli and New York/Federal authorities will bring about the correct result, as they have thus far.

I remind you that Mr Hyett fled United States jurisdiction without consent and in violation of court directives. He did so with advance planning and quite surreptitiously. These facts will be substantiated by the appropriate authorities in short order.

Hyett and Glazer face off in Israel tomorrow.

Eric Hyett's looking to clear his name.

The 37-year old made news earlier this month when he escorted his son Jedidiah to Israel. This sounds innocuous enough, but not when you ask Hyett's estranged husband, Joshua Glazer. Glazer claims Hyett "kidnapped" their son, over whom they have joint custody.

Infuriated by the reports, Boston-born Hyett, seen in the foreground above, sent an email out last week explaining his side of the story. He did not "abscond" with his son, he says. Rather, the trip to Israel's for the best of Jedidiah's "human rights," which Glazer violated by failing to adhere to court ordered custodial agreements. And, as the basis of his argument, Glazer's using the 1996 Hague Convention.
