Earlier this week, Music Times reported that Chris Brown could possibly face more jail time and after appearing in court Friday (May 9), the "Loyal" crooner was ordered to spend an additional 131 days in jail. 

The sentence comes after Brown confessed to his probation violation.  

According to the Associated Press, Superior Court Judge James R. Brandlin sentenced Brown to serve a year in county jail but gave him credit for nearly eight months. 

Brown received credit for time he has spent in rehab and jail, as well as credits for good behavior while behind bars. 

During his court appearance, Brown admitted his involvement in the Washington, D.C. assault case and waived his rights to an evidentiary hearing in which prosecutors would have to prove that Brown violated his probation. 

Reports say he answered "Yes sir" to Brandlin's questions during the hearing including a question about whether he was acknowledging he committed a crime in Washington, D.C. 

It is unclear how his admission of guilt will impact his pending case. 

Additionally, Brandlin ordered Brown to complete the remainder of his 1,000 hours of community labor once he is released from jail. AP reports that as of early February, Brown had 800 hours of community labor remaining. 

As previously reported, Brown's probation for the 2009 beating of ex-girlfriend pop singer Rihanna Fenty was revoked after his Washington assault arrest.  

Prosecutors say it appears likely Brown will be found guilty of the assault charge. 

His bodyguard, Christopher Hollosy, has already been found guilty in the assault case.
