Big Sean cleared of sexual abuse charges

Big Sean has been cleared of two charges in a recent sexual abuse case after accepting a plea deal.

The Def Jam singer - born Sean Michael Anderson - was arrested in August following an incident with a female fan in which he was accused of forcible touching, second degree unlawful imprisonment and sexual abuse.

Big Sean's lawyer Scott Leemon announced on Wednesday that his client was looking forward to moving on with his life and putting the experience behind him.

"I am pleased to announce that after further investigation the Niagra County District Attorney's Office decided not to pursue any of the sexual misconduct allegations against Mr. Anderson," Leemon said in a statement.

"As a result, in order to get this entire ordeal behind him Mr. Anderson agreed to plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge of unlawful imprisonment with a $750 (£469) fine.

"Mr. Anderson regrets any misunderstandings that occurred that day and reiterates he did not engage in any type of sexual misconduct. "

Sean previously referred to the arrest as "minor s**t", but was banned from talking about it while the case was still active.

He has since posted a message on his official Twitter account reading: "Don't ever stop appreciating your blessings".
