Johnson Wen, a 26-year-old Australian native, pleaded guilty to one charge of being a public nuisance and was sentenced to nine days in jail,The New York Timesreported on Monday, Nov. 17.
Wen's sentencing comes four days after he charged at Grande, 32, while she walked at the Singapore premiere of the newWickedmovie on Thursday, Nov. 13.
As seen in video footage from the incident — includingfootage Wen posted himself to Instagram— the Australian man, wearing a white shirt and shorts,sprinted at Grande and put his arm around the actress, pulling her close to him as she attempted to get away.
Grande's costarCynthia Erivoand security at the premiere quickly stepped in to separate Wen from Grande, who appeared visibly shaken up in the immediate aftermath.
As theTimesreported, a judge in Singapore called Wen "attention-seeking" on Nov. 17 and said the man wrongly assumed his actions would have no consequences. Though Wen told the judge he would not "do it again," prosecutors in the case cited what they described as Wen's "glaring lack of remorse."
