Los Angeles, Dec 8 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Leonardo DiCaprio’s attacker has been sentenced to 2 years behind bars. It may be recalled that 5 years ago, a woman had caused injury to the actor in a Hollywood party. She had attacked his face with a broken bottle. The Titanic star was injured so badly that he needed 17 stitches.
The woman in question is Aretha Wilson and she pleaded guilty to the charge of assault with a deadly weapon. It also ought to be mentioned that the 40 years old Wilson has already spent a year in jail, so it seems unlikely that she would serve an additional 2 years behind bars. Her lawyer also revealed that in all probability, Wilson would be out of prison in 6 months. There is also a chance that she would get a reduced sentence in lieu of her good behavior.
Earlier Wilson had said that she wasn’t guilty of the charge, so there were expectations that the case would have headed for a trial. However now she changed her stand and pleaded no contest to the charge. This made Leonardo DiCaprio happy because he didn’t want the case to head to a trial. The actor wasn’t present in the court when the verdict was read out.
