Singer Chris Brown, 2009( Robert Gauthier / Los Angeles Times )
R&B singer Brown pleaded guilty in June 2009 to assaulting his former girlfriend, pop star Rihanna, in February of that year.
Brown's lawyers secured a last-minute deal that allowed him to avoid jail time and another public airing of the domestic-violence allegations that had damaged his clean-cut image. The deal with prosecutors was finalized in the hours before a hearing at which Rihanna was expected to tell a courtroom packed with reporters and fans how Brown bit, punched and choked her after a pre-Grammy Awards party. |
