Kanye West pleads not guilty to assaulting photographer

Kanye West has pleaded not guilty to charges of misdemeanour battery, grand theft and vandalism over an alleged attack on a photographer at LA International Airport last year.

Kanye West has pleaded not guilty to those previously reported allegations that he assaulted a photographer as he arrived at the LA International Airport in September last year. As you may remember, West was charged with misdemeanour battery, grand theft and vandalism after apparently attacking a member of the paparazzi and breaking a camera. His road manager Dan Crawley was also charged, with two counts of assault, two counts of theft and two counts of vandalism.

It's said that both could face up to five years in prison if convicted, though these celebrity criminals rarely seem to serve anything like the maximum sentence these days, so they'll probably be alright.
