Chris Brown has reached a plea bargain in his felony assault case for beating Rihanna last February.
The singer, 20, will receive five years probation for felony assault. He’ll also spend 180 days doing community labor in Virginia. He’ll also home to Virginia, his home stage, his lawyer, Mark Geragos, announced in court.
Rihanna did not have to testify.
Brown arrived at a downtown Los Angeles court at 1:30 PDT this afternoon for the hearing. He was escorted inside the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center by eight uniformed officers and a bodyguard.
Brown — who donned a gray striped suit, brown shoes and striped tie — appeared solemn, according to a witness. His mother followed behind him. The duo were both looking down.
Rihanna — who wore a black dress, sunglasses and pearls — was present at court, but never entered the courtroom.
Brown turned himself into police in February for allegedly beating Rihanna. He was charged with two felonies.
