Singer Chris Brown Pleads Guilty To Assaulting Rhianna
R&B singer Chris Brown pleaded guilty to assaulting his girlfriend, pop star Rhianna, in a plea deal that his criminal defense attorneys and prosecuting attorneys reached at the last second before his domestic violence trial was set to begin.
The altercation occurred between the couple the night before the Grammy awards when Chris Brown received a text message from a former lover. After arguing in his rented Lambourghini, police found Rhianna bruised and bloodied on a Hancock Park side street.
According to the report, Brown, who is 20-years old, will be on probation for five years, attend a yearlong domestic violence prevention class and complete six months of what the judge termed “community labor” — a more restrictive form of community service in which he will be required to perform such tasks as picking up trash or removing graffiti.
