Chris Brown pleaded guilty to felony assault for the February beating of ex-girlfriend Rihanna in a Los Angeles court room on Monday. The star won't be seeing any jail time, however. He also won't be seeing much of Rihanna. The judge has ordered Brown to stay 50 yards away from the "Umbrella" singer.
The 50-yard deal becomes 10 yards, however, if they are both present at the same event. Also included in the plea deal are 180 days of community service, such as trash removal in his home state of Virginia. He'll also have to attend two weeks of domestic violence counseling.
Brown's plea deal also includes five years of supervised probation. The presiding judge, Patricia Schnegg, was reported as telling the court room, "I want Mr. Brown to be treated as any other person of this type of charge."
After Brown left the court room, Rihanna entered the court where the judge explained to her the meaning of the stay-away order. Brown will be officially sentenced on August 5th.
