Kanye West Pleads No Contest In Photographer Assault. Sentenced To 2 Years Probation, Anger Management & Community Service



Kanye West's lawyer's cut a plea deal today in the assault case involving photographer Daniel Ramos.

In exchange for pleading no contest to misdemeanor battery, the charge of attempted grand theft was dropped

West was sentenced to two years of probation, 24 anger management therapy sessions and 250 hours of community service. The 36-year old rapper, who was not present in court, did not have to enter a plea of guilt and if he stays out of trouble while on probation the conviction will probably be erased from his record, according to TMZ.

Ramos asked the judge to throw the G.O.O.D. Music CEO in jail.

"I was only doing my job, and he broke the law," Ramos said. "I believe that if I did what he did to me, I would have been put behind bars."

No financial settlement with Ramos has been reached, making it likely he will pursue a civil suit against West.


West attacked Ramos at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) after telling him not to speak on July 19, 2013.
