Justin Bieber convicted in Canada, fined
Pop star Justin Bieber on Thursday pleaded guilty to assault and careless driving charges in connection with a collision and altercation with a photographer near his Canadian hometown.
The 21-year-old singer, who appeared at the hearing via video link from Los Angeles, received an absolute discharge on the assault charge and a C$750 (£390) fine for the careless driving charge. He was also required to pay a £52 victim surcharge.
The incident happened during a visit to Stratford, Ontario, with pop star Selena Gomez. The two were “disrupted by the unwelcome presence of paparazzi,” his lawyer said at the time.
Local media, citing police, reported there was a “physical altercation” following a collision between a minivan and an all-terrain vehicle outside the town.
