On Tuesday, singer/actor Chris Brown was sentenced to five years of probation and 180 days of community labor to be served at the Commonwealth Catholic Charities in Richmond, Virginia.
He reached a plea deal with prosecutors in June that limited his sentence to probation and no jail time. The 20-year-old is required to take a yearlong domestic violence prevention class and was ordered to stay at least 100 yards away from Rihanna for the next five years unless they are both at an entertainment-related event, in which case he must stay 10 yards away.
Brown must pay $2,500 in restitution and another $2,500 in probation expenses. He must also pay a $30 criminal conviction fee and $400 that goes into a domestic violence fund. He faced a maximum of five years in prison had he been convicted.
