LOS ANGELES — A judge sentenced singer Chris Brown to five years of probation and six months of community labor for beating Rihanna.
The 20-year-old appeared in court Tuesday afternoon to be formally sentenced for the February attack on his then-girlfriend. Brown’s sentence will be served in his home state of Virginia. He will have to return to Los Angeles frequently to update a judge on his progress.
Brown was arrested hours after the February attack and pleaded guilty to felony assault in June. He apologized to fans in a video and said he has apologized to Rihanna, who did not appear in court Tuesday. The Associated Press
