Big Sean Takes Plea Deal in Sex Abuse Case

Kanye West protégé Big Sean has managed to avoid jail time after being charged with sexually assaulting a woman in upstate New York, back in August.

According to his reports, the G.O.O.D. Music rapper accepted a lesser charge in court yesterday (Oct. 26), pleading guilty to unlawful imprisonment, a misdemeanor and paying a mere $750 fine.

"I am pleased to announce that after further investigation the Niagra County District Attorney's Office decided not to pursue any of the sexual misconduct allegations against Mr. Anderson," Big Sean's lawyer, Scott Leemon, told XXL. "As a result in order to get this entire ordeal behind him Mr. Anderson agreed to plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge of unlawful imprisonment with a $750 fine. Mr. Anderson regrets any misunderstandings that occurred that day and reiterates he did not engage in any type of sexual misconduct."

The incident allegedly took place during a stop the Lewiston, N.Y. stop on Wiz Khalifa's Rolling Papers tour on Aug. 4, where an unidentified woman claimed that she had been touched against her will by Big Sean and an associate, Willie Antonio Hansbro, who has also accepted the same plea deal.

Both men were arrested and summarily charged with third-degree sexual abuse, second-degree unlawful imprisonment and forcible touching, but were released after posting $500 bail.

Sean's reps have yet to make a statement regarding the case.

Wow, the comments on here are appauling. Because they are rappers they are no good criminal jailbirds. Hmm....what about all the politicians who get off easy with their cherades? Or the directors for movies who get sexual favors in return for a chance at the big role? Get real people, it's all over our world not just with rappers. By the way, some women LIE about this stuff because they want to get a pay day. Happens all the time. I'm sure if they had strong enough evidence against him he would've went to jail. There have been plenty of rappers that have served jail time. He's also not a big time rapper with a lot of money. Most people have never heard of him. So he definitely didn't get off because he's famous.

Typical, if it was a normal everyday white guy with no money he'd still be in jail instead of being able to pay off the girls and have them go away. RAP poison to our society since day one. I refuse to call that crap music.

It is fitting that the article end with his video. Nice work for selecting one with KANYE! Is this really what the industry has come to? Let us know when you find an artist with talent and character, these have neither one!

Amazing how money can drop your charges from sexual assault to unlawful imprisonment, a misdemeanor. Why is it rappers can buy their way out of jail.

If he was not a celebrity he would have gone to jail like the rest of the population. It is who he was and not what he did that got him off. So sorry to hear.
