Comment on YouTubers face up to five years in jail after being arrested sneaking into World Cup game
calliope@retrolemmy.com 1 week agoI would be shocked if it stuck long-term unless someone wanted to make an example out of them (which isn’t out of the question).
They were both charged with interference with a sporting or entertainment event, which could lead to a prison sentence of up to five years if they’re found to have solicited each other into doing so, as that is a third-degree felony. Additionally, they can both be fined $5000.
“Interference with a sporting or entertainment event” is a stretch, and for the third degree felony it would have to be proven that they solicited each other to “interfere with an event.”
They will probably plea to a lesser charge.
