Justin Timberlake was sentenced to community service on Friday after pleading guilty to a lesser offense in a drunken driving case in the Hamptons.

The 43-year-old “SexyBack” crooner pleaded guilty to the lesser offense of driving under the influence of alcohol rather than the more serious offense of driving under the influence of alcohol in Sag Harbor Village Court on Friday morning.

Judge Carl Irace sentenced the pop star to community service and ordered him to make a public statement, which Timberlake was scheduled to read shortly after the hearing on Friday.
