Though Brown, 20, will be allowed to perform his community labour in his home state of Virginia, he is required to appear before his sentencing judge in California every three months. Brown was arrested hours after the February attack and pleaded guilty to felony assault in June. He apologized to fans in a video released and said he has apologized to Rihanna, who did not appear in court Tuesday.
