Tony Yayo Gets Off Easy
February 15th, 2008 | Posted in Celebrity Gossip, Celebrity News, Music
Tony Yayo has been cleared of assault charges for beating up Jimmy Henchman’s 14 year-old son.
The G-Unit soldier, whose real name is Marvin Bernard, was in court in New York on Thursday when the charges of misdemeanor assault, harassment and endangering the welfare of a child were dismissed as part of a plea deal to a lesser, noncriminal harassment charge, which includes 10 days of community service.
Cynthia Reed, the mother of the teen involved in the case, issued the following statement regarding the dismissal of the charges:
“As much as Marvin Bernard tried to wiggle his way out of his role in assaulting my son, who is a minor, he had to accept responsibility to accept a plea deal. He couldn’t hide behind 50 Cent, G-Unit, Violator management or his co-defendant. This malicious crime against a child is despicable and any industry sponsor or company that supports individuals like Tony Yayo should remove themselves from a relationship with him and his affiliated entities. Crimes against children should never be legitimized just because a person is an entertainer. A public apology is appropriate at this time, not only from Tony Yayo but from 50 Cent for denying this event ever happened — as if my son was lying when all along they knew this assault had taken place.”
I doubt that Tony Yayo or 50 Cent will be issuing an apology any time soon, if ever.
