Akon Pleads Guilty | Fined For Throwing Fan

by KS STAFF on Dec.17, 2008, under KS NEWS

Akon is pleading guilty to harassment after he tossed a fan off stage at a concert last summer.
He will serve no jail time as long he performs 65 hours of community service and pays a $250 fine.

Akon declined comment as he left court.

The Senegalese-American singer, born Aliaune Thiam, was accused of picking up a teenage boy and throwing him off the stage during a June 2007 concert at a minor league baseball stadium near Poughkeepsie. Another concertgoer said she suffered a concussion when the teen landed on her.

Akon released his third album, Freedom, earlier this month.
