Lewiston, Oct 27 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Rapper Big Sean has accepted a plea bargain in his sex abuse charges. The rapper who was born Sean Michael Anderson was charged along with another defendant for sexually assaulting a 17-year-old.

Big Sean appeared in court on Wednesday with his attorney and some family members. At the court, Sean and his co-defendant Willie Hansbro pleaded guilty to second-degree unlawful imprisonment. They were subsequently fined $750 each as their punishments. The two paid the fines on the spot and left the courtroom free men.

Deputy District Attorney Holly Sloma said that, “This was a fair resolution to the victim which allowed us to get a criminal conviction and an acceptance of responsibility for what occurred that night. This will allow the victim to move forward, which is what she wants to do.”

Reading the sentence, Lewiston Town Justice Hugh Gee told the two suspects that they should realize that their attorneys did a good job in securing the deal for them.

The 2011 MTV VMA best new rap artist of the year nominee was charged last August after the 17-year-old reported to the police that she was sexually assaulted. The incident reportedly happened during a concert at Artpark State Park which featured the 23-year-old and Wiz Khalifa.
