Lauryn Hill Pleads Guilty to Not Filing Taxes, Faces One Year Sentence

June 29, 2012 by Kellie Williams in Latest News with 4 Comments

A few weeks ago, we shared reports that Lauryn Hill had been charged with three counts of failing to file tax returns on more than $1.5 million earned from 2005 to 2007. Lauryn had even addressed the allegations, and penned a personal response to how and why she fell behind with Uncle Sam. Fast forward to the present day and Friday afternoon, we learned that the 37-year-old singer has plead guilty, and admitted to not filing taxes for all three years. She faces a maximum one-year sentence on each count.

She is cute as a button…and sorry to hear about her tax woes, but Lauryn is and was a little touched and they should take that into consideration.

I am surprised she pled guilty and I pray she does not do any time away from her babies…that would be tragic! I hope the IRS, allows her to pay it and move on.

I agree with Cocoryder! I hope that the IRS will allow her to pay and move on too. Time away from her children would just complicate the universe O_O
