<p>The 30-year-old rapper and his co-defendants Bladimir Corniel and David Rispers were found guilty of assault by a Swedish court on Wednesday (08.14.19) and ordered to pay $1,300 to their 19-year-old victim, Mustafa Jafari. <br> <br> The sum will be split between the trio, while the victim had initially sought $16,000, the New York Times reports. <br> <br> A$AP and his friends were arrested in Stockholm, Sweden, in July for their involvement in a fight prior to a music festival and after being found guilty, they were given a suspended prison sentence. <br> <br> Swedish prosecutors had asked for them to be given a six-month prison sentence but they won't have to serve any more jail time, after being released on August 2nd. <br> <br> It has been reported that a more serious sentence was not handed down because prosecutors could not prove a bottle was used in the attack. <br> <br> Journalist Alex Marshall tweeted: "#ASAPRocky didn't get a stronger sentence as the prosecutor couldn't prove a bottle was used in the attack says the lead judge."<br> <br> The court said in a statement, obtained by BBC News: "The assault has not been of such a serious nature that a prison sentence must be chosen," the court said in a statement.<br> <br> "The defendants are therefore sentenced to conditional sentences."<br> <br> While the defendants had claimed they were defending themselves against Jafari, the court said they were "not in a situation where they were entitled to self-defense" and added that they "assaulted the victim by hitting and kicking him as he lay on the ground."<br> <br> The court continued: "The artist has also thrown the victim to the ground and stepped on his arm."<br> <br> Rocky had claimed that the victim harassed his entourage, and had attacked his bodyguard before the fight. <br> <br></p>
