Ex-porn star Jenna Jameson pleads guilty to DUI

August 16, 2012 - 5:38 pm

WESTMINSTER, Calif. - Former adult film star Jenna Jameson has pleaded guilty to driving under the influence when she struck a light pole in Southern California.

Jameson was sentenced Thursday to three years of informal probation and ordered to pay $340 in fines and participate in a Mothers Against Drunk Driving "victims' impact panel."

A misdemeanor charge of driving without a valid driver's license was dismissed.

Jameson was arrested on May 25 after her Range Rover struck the pole in Westminster, resulting in minor injuries. Prosecutors in Orange County say tests showed her blood-alcohol level was .05 percent above the state legal limit.

Her attorney, John Kremer, tells City News Service Jameson is apologetic and thankful nobody was seriously hurt.

Jameson crossed into the mainstream after publishing a popular autobiography in 2004.
