Hefner had been set to go to trial on Wednesday (today, ed.) in Suffolk Superior Court on five counts of indecent assault and battery against three different men. He was also facing a separate trial for allegedly distributing nude photographs without the subject’s consent.
He was sentenced to three years’ probation. He was also sentenced to one year in jail, suspended for three years, so he will only be sent to jail if he violates his probation.
He will also have to register as a sex offender.
In a brief statement in court, Hefner apologized to his victims and to his family.
