ABOVE: Chris Brown admits that domestic abuse was a problem in his family.
Chris Brown pleaded guilty to assaulting ex-girlfriend Rihanna in a Los Angeles court yesterday, in exchange for which he will not have to go to prison, but he will have to perform some heavy duty community service, according to an Associated Press report.
The two were also ordered to stay away from each other.
Brown’s plea to a felony charge will subject him to a great deal of scrutiny from probation officers who will oversee his picking up roadside trash and cleaning up graffiti, and he can forget about any reconciliation with Rihanna, according to the AP report.
The guilty plea came before a hearing in which Brown and Rihanna might have had a public faceoff, with Rihanna set to testify against her ex-beau. Instead, after Brown left the courtroom, Rihanna entered and had the stay-away order explained to her.
The total sentence for Brown was five years probation and 6-months of community service.

This is outrageous! Chris Brown admits that he beat Rihanna, and his punishment is community service? Is he grounded without TV and video games for a week, too? That is just wrong!
