Cee Lo was sentenced to three years of probation and 360 hours of community service.
Singer Cee Lo Green has pleaded no contest to one felony county of furnishing ecstasy to a woman during a July 2012 incident, The Associated Press reports.
The woman alleged that Green put something into her drink during a date and she later woke up naked in bed with him with no recollection of the previous night’s events.
While the no contest plea is a felony, according to TMZ, the plea allows Cee Lo to maintain his innocence.
Superior Court Judge Mark Young sentenced Cee Lo to three years of probation and 360 hours of community service. According to Rolling Stone magazine, the singer must also attend 52 AA/NA meetings.
“Given that the matter is under investigation, we obviously cannot speak as freely as we’d like. What we can say is that these allegations are despicable, untrue, and deeply hurtful to Cee Lo, his children and his family,” Green’s spokesperson said in a statement when the allegations first surfaced. “We are confident that when all the facts come out, it will be clear that if anyone was victimized here, it was Cee Lo. In the meantime, Cee Lo is deeply grateful for the overwhelming support he has received from his fans, his friends, and his colleagues.”
