Akon pleads guilty
Akon just pleaded guilty over that incident where he grabbed a kid and threw him off a stage at a 2007 concert. Instead of going to trial for the June 2007 teen-toss the singer copped a guilty plea to the charge of harassment in the second degree, which is considered a “violation” and not a crime.
Akon was sentenced to 65 hours community service and $350 in fines.
After the hearing, Akon’s people said, “We are pleased that the case has been resolved and Akon looks forward to putting this unfortunate incident behind him.”
