Akon Pleads Not Guilty in Fan-Tossing Case
comment No Comments December 5, 2007 – 10:16 am

Akon pleaded not guilty Monday to criminal charges filed after he tossed a 15-year-old boy off the stage at a concert earlier this year.

The 34-year-old hip-hop star was released on his own recognizance following his brief court appearance in Fishkill. He was charged with endangering the welfare of a minor and second-degree harassment.

Unfortunately, another fan was also hurt. Abby Rosa said she suffered a concussion when the teenage boy that Akon threw into the crowd fell on her.

A town justice told Akon that his lawyer can stand in for him at future court appearances and he does not have to appear. Akon did not comment as he left the courthouse.

“It was never Akon’s intention to violate the law,” the singer’s Manhattan lawyer,  said. “This unfortunate incident was a spontaneous reaction during a live concert that Akon deeply regrets.”
