Chris Brown

Taking to the Los Angeles Criminal Courts building, Chris Brown arrived for formal sentencing in regards to his assault on ex-girlfriend, Rihanna, alongside his lawyer and bodyguards on Tuesday afternoon (August 25).

Wearing a three-piece suit, the “Kiss Kiss” singer was dealt the expected 180 days community labor, which he can perform in his home state of Virginia, as well as felony probation for 60 months.

Scolding Brown for his misdoings, the judge also is making him enroll in a community service program, Commonwealth Catholic Charities, for a 52 week domestic violence program.

With fines and fees totaling just over $5,000, the R&B singer will have a protective order forcing him to stay away from Rihanna for 5 years – as he’s also required to submit DNA samples as requested by authorities.

On a final note, TMZ reports tell that “the judge just said she is aware of the ‘chatter’ on the airwaves (talking about rumors that Brown has been in touch with Rihanna) – adding that she means business and will violate his probation if he dares violate the terms.”
