This is an actual article from a newspaper in July of 1999
Pop princess Britney Spears was convicted Friday of sexually abusing a high school student on their first date after meeting him on the Internet. The verdict came early in the jury's third day of deliberations against Britney Jean Spears. Her attorney says there will be an appeal. Spears -- a 17-year-old pop artist from Louisiana -- sexually abused the male teen after he showed up at her Kentwood home. He spent more than 2 hours there until Spears released him. Spears, who faces sexual assault charges, wept after the verdict was read. She was found guilty of kidnapping, sexual abuse and two counts of assault. The jury acquitted her of sodomy and aggravated sexual abuse. The defendant had been free on $350,000 bail during the trial. She was ordered jailed while awaiting his sentencing on November 6. Defendant's family blasts judge, blames teen. Lawyer Edward Silverman, a spokesman for the Spears family, read a statement outside the courtroom blasting how acting state Supreme Court Justice William Richardson handled the case. "We are confident the appellate court will rectify the clear legal errors and palpable miscarriage of justice committed in and by the trial court," Newman said. During the three-week trial, prosecutors called 10 witnesses -- including the victim. He was not in the courtroom when the verdict was returned.
Spears's attorney, George Litman, told jurors it was the teen, a high school student, who suggested the meeting that led to his captivity and abuse in Spears's home on March 18, 1999. The pair had met online, and had exchanged e-mails. "It is an insult to your intelligence to suggest that he didn't know what was going to go on when he got there," (Personal note: so Britney's skankiness really IS common knowledge!!) Litman said during summations. Prosecutors bristled at that remark. "A teenage boy who goes over to a celebrity's house does not ask to be sexually assaulted," Assistant District Attorney Gail Heatherly told the jury. "I'm asking you to condemn the defendant [Spears] for what she did."
'Identical attack on former boyfriend' During the trial, jurors never heard from Spears's former boyfriend, a cousin of her, who was ready to testify that she had abused him with what she described as the same kind of sadistic violence. Court papers released Tuesday say Spears "performed a chillingly identical attack on her former boyfriend" in October 1998 -- six months before the attack for which she was convicted. Spears and her cousin had both been on a Disney television program. Richardson had ruled that the teen's testimony was overly prejudicial and barred him from testifying.

I'm kind of pissed off about the pop-up box, but so far they're still the best provider we've found.
