Busta Rhymes Gets Probation!
Busta Rhymes was sentenced to six months probation by a Ma**achusetts judge today (March 23). Rhymes pled not guilty to charges of a**aulting a woman at a December 2002 concert.
Rhymes admitted that he touched Celine Giguere of Providence, who was also charged with a**ault by Rhymes after she touched his face as he was leaving the stage.
She accused him of slamming her head into a barroom table, a charge he denied in a handwritten letter to the judge.
When Giguere allegedly went to touch his face, Rhymes said he grabbed her hand and said, "Please make sure you do not touch me again,´´ before leaving for his hotel.
Rhymes´ case will automatically be dismissed if he steers clear of trouble for six months. He had to pay $300 in court costs and a $21 fee to have unsupervised probation.
