The boy band singer-turned-solo star and actor appeared in Sag Harbour Village Court to enter a new plea.
The judge sentenced Timberlake to a US$500 fine with a US$260 surcharge, 25 hours of community service at the non-profit organisation of his choosing and required him to make a public safety announcement.
During the proceedings Timberlake remained standing throughout and gave a statement in which he expressed remorse for his actions. He said he grew up in a small town and appreciated the kind of strain his arrest has made on Sag Harbour. He said he has had a lot of time to reflect on his actions.
“I did not live up to the standards that I try to hold for myself,” he said.
