Grammy winning singer/rapper Lauryn Hill pleaded guilty to "intentionally and willingly" not paying federal taxes on more than $1.5 million earned over three years.
Hill appeared in U.S. District Court in Newark, New Jersey and admitted failing to file tax returns from 2005 to 2007. Each count carries a maximum penalty of one year in prison and a $100,000 fine.
According to Reuters, Hill was released on $150,000 bail that U.S. District Judge Michael Shipp said included being allowed to leave the country for music tours and a condition she must undergo mental health counseling.
She will reappear in the Newark courthouse for sentencing in November.
