Cee Lo Green pleads no contest to giving woman Ecstasy

Cee Lo Green pleaded no contest Friday to one felony count of slipping Ecstasy to a woman during a 2012 dinner in Los Angeles and was sentenced to serve probation and community service. According to prosecutors, Green, 39, “slipped” Ecstasy to a 33-year-old woman while the two were dining at a sushi restaurant in July 2012. The woman initially said she believed Green spiked her drink and that the next thing she remembered was waking up naked in her hotel room with him. The Grammy-winning singer - one part of neo soul duo Gnarls Barkley - entered a special plea in which he maintained his innocence in the case and that prevents his no contest plea from being used against him in civil court. The drug case could be used against Green in criminal court if he faces another drug offense. The former “Voice” judge whose real name is Thomas DeCarlo Callaway, was sentenced to three years of probation and 360 hours of community service and 52 substance abuse therapy sessions.
