Prostitution Court Case Study

In 2007, Spears start to take drug and then stay at a drug rehabilitation facility in Antigua offshore less than 24 hours on February 16. The next night at a hair salon in Tarzana, California she shaved her head with electric clippers. A few days later, she admitted herself to a treatment facility in Malibu, California. While leaving the facility briefly, she quickly returned on February 22. The previous day, Kevin Federline had requested an emergency hearing on custody of their children but then his attorney announced that Federline asked to cancel the court appearance without further explanation was given. Spears left the rehabilitation centre on March 20 according to her manager, who said she was released after as the legal battle over the custody of their children continued, successfully completing their program.

children on parole. A few days later, she was formally charged with the offense hit-and-run and driving without a license. If convicted, he could face years in prison. Spears lost physical custody of her children to Federline on October 1, with the court ruling that Federline will retain full custody of the children because of her mental health and social situation.
