As we previously told you, Rod Stewart's plea deal fell through back in October and now both he and his son have both pleaded guilty to one count of simple battery. In case you forgot, both were charged for battering a security guard in 2019 during a New Year's Eve bash. Neither Stewart nor his son were present in the courtroom on Friday. Court docs show that they pleaded guilty "in absentia" and that they have to pay $675 in court fines.
Stewart's attorney, Guy Fronstin, said in a statement, "No one was injured in the incident and a jury did not find Sir Rod Stewart guilty of the accusation. Instead, Sir Rod Stewart decided to enter a plea to avoid the inconvenience and unnecessary burden on the court and the public that a high profile proceeding would cause." He then added, "In resolving the case, Sir Rod Stewart was not convicted, nor sentenced to jail, or placed on probation."
