Amid the various rumours and gossip surrounding Britney Spears, a man once briefly married to Britney Spears was convicted this Friday of aggravated trespassing and battery at the pop star’s June wedding. Jason Alexander, 40, pleaded no contest to the two misdemeanour counts in a California court. The Ventura County judge sentenced him to the 64 days he has already served in jail.
Prosecutors dropped charges of felony stalking and misdemeanour vandalism. Spears married longtime boyfriend Sam Asghari at her home in Thousand Oaks, California, on June 9, in front of several dozen guests including Selena Gomez, Drew Barrymore, Paris Hilton and Madonna.
According to testimony at a preliminary hearing, Alexander who was married to Spears for less than three days in 2004 and also the singer's childhood friend, appeared at the house prior to the ceremony uninvited while live streaming on Instagram. Breaking into the house and up to the locked door into which the bride-to-be (Spears) was getting ready for the wedding.
When asked to leave the property, Alexander battered a security guard who tried to remove him, and damaged a door, prosecutors said. After he entered his plea, a judge issued a new protective order forbidding him from coming within 100 yards of Spears or the security guard.
Alexander’s attorney, Sandra Bisignani, did not immediately reply to an email seeking comment. She previously said in court that there was no evidence he had any intention of harming Spears.
Spears’ lawyer declined to comment to The Hollywood Reporter.
