U.S. celebrity lawyer Avenatti gets 2 1/2 years for Nike extortion Today 02:42 am JST Today | 07:25 am JST NEW YORK
Michael Avenatti, the celebrity lawyer who represented porn actress Stormy Daniels in her lawsuit against ex-president Donald Trump, was sentenced to two and a half years in prison Thursday for attempting to extort Nike.
The 30-month sentence marks an incredible fall from grace for the 50-year-old California attorney, who at one point presented himself as a major adversary to Trump.
Avenatti was found guilty by a New York jury in February 2020 of trying to extort millions of dollars from Nike.
Investigators said Avenatti had asked executives at the sports apparel giant to pay him to keep him from sharing alleged evidence that he said would show how the company had bribed amateur basketball players.
