Chris Brown Sentenced For Beating Up Rihanna

The 20-year-old pleaded guilty in June to one count of felony assault relating to an incident that occurred hours before the pair were due to perform at the Grammy Awards.

At Los Angeles Superior Court, Brown was told that he must serve five years probation and perform six months of community labour in his home state of Virginia.

Rihanna was not in court to see her attacker sentenced.

The sentence was in line with recommendations agreed between Brown and prosecutors as part of a plea bargain.

It has been heavily criticised by domestic abuse campaigners who claimed it is too lenient.

Chris Brown leaves his sentencing hearing in Los Angeles

The attack on Rihanna left her bleeding and badly bruised.

Brown, her then boyfriend, was arrested on February 8, hours after a party in Los Angeles.

According to an affidavit filed by an LA police detective, the altercation took place in a car when Rihanna checked Brown's mobile phone and found a text message from another woman.

Detective De Shon Andrews wrote that Brown attempted to push Rihanna out of the vehicle before punching her repeatedly.

He also bit her ear, the affidavit states.


He then allegedly threatened to kill her when she pretended to phone her assistant to get police help.

According to the detective, the alleged assault left Rihanna with a mouthful of blood.

Brown is also alleged to have tried to choke her.

Following the incident, pictures apparently showing the female singer's beaten and swollen face were leaked on to the internet.

In July - five months after the attack - Brown publicly apologised for his behaviour.

In a video posting on his website, the singer said he was "truly, truly sorry", adding that what he did was unacceptable and he had apologised to his victim "countless" times.

It's sad that people say she deserved it. God forbid these idiots ever have a daughter that gets hit/beat/killed by her boyfriend or husband. An argument should never escalate to physical violence and a man should never use his strength on a woman. I agree that a woman should never hit a man, but to retaliate as if combating another man....that's quite a pussy, lowlife, scum of the earth move. Period.

For all the girls defending chris for what he did:imagine if you were beaten the shit out of by yo boyfriend or husband, and everyone said "oh well, everyone makes mistakes,you provoked him and made him angry,you deserved it"how would that make you feel? that's what i thought.and now for everyone who is hatin on him for what he did, yes he fucked up,but its been 3 years now,so let him get past it&shut up.hes tryin to get better,but if assholes like you keep bringing it up,he'll never get better.

@onlydeserae2006 you seem to be the only one with common sense. all these other comments are bull shit. i love chris and rihanna both. they're both beautiful and talented. and clearly she has forgiven him. they've recently featured on each other's songs, she invited him to her bday party, and i'm sure she still has feelings for him whether her "fans" approve or not. i'm not saying they should get back together, but let's live and let live, people. let go, you sound like fools.

[onlydeserae2006]

In all honesty you guys are sitting here arguing about stuff an people you will never see touch or talk to, which is embarrassing that you are fighting over it. It isn't your business what he did to her. Just because yet are celebs people have to go an make a big deal about it. He said he was sorry and if she truly had a problem with it she wouldn't have lied to her parents and said it was a car accident. Did you know she is trying to get back with Chris now? Hmm she clearly enjoyed getting hit

@silverstorm1000 so basically your telling me you can't read?

[britttannyxo]

@10waris10 youre HORRIBLY wrong. For some men it takes very little for them to perform an act of domestic violence.

[klar9852]

@ginpachiKun No, I think THOSE people are wrong if they are to say that any person deserves to get beat up. God is not the reason all bad or good things happen, in my opinion, but to say that she deserved this is twisted and ignorant, unless of course the person is a child molester or something really deplorable like that. ha...

[ginpachiKun]

@klar9852 She may not deserved it but what she does and by looking how corrupt and flirty she is then maybe those people are right ...Bad people always get punishments for their sins from god
