A homeless man found in performer Selena Gomez’s guest house bathroom was convicted Wednesday of trespassing at the Calabasas home and sentenced to 45 days in jail.

Che Cruz, 20, pleaded no contest in his initial court appearance to one misdemeanor count of unauthorized entry of a dwelling house, said Deputy Dist. Atty Eduards Abele.

Los Angeles Court Commissioner Alvin Nierenberg sentenced Cruz to 45 days in jail and three years’ probation.

Abele said the judge also ordered Cruz to stay away from Gomez and her residence and prohibited him from possessing any weapons.

Cruz was arrested March 30 in a guest house on the property. He reportedly knocked on the front door of the home before going around the back of the property and entering the guest house.

Security guards responded to the property and found Cruz, who was arrested on suspicion of trespassing and burglary by L.A. County sheriff’s deputies.
