JUST IN: Rapper A$AP Rocky convicted of assault but will not face jail time, Swedish prosecutors announce.
Rapper A$AP Rocky was convicted of assault but will not face jail time, Swedish prosecutors announced on Wednesday.
"All three defendants are convicted of assault and sentenced to conditional sentences," the statement said."The court finds that the defendants were not in a situation where they were entitled to self-defence and that they have assaulted the victim by hitting and kicking him. However, it has not been proven that the defendants struck the victim in the head with a bottle or assaulted him with whole or broken bottles.
The rapper, whose given name is Rakim Mayers, testified at his trial that he and his companions were followed and harassed by Jafari and another man prior to the brawl and that they repeatedly asked the men to leave them alone.
