'Into the Wild' actor Emile Hirsch has been jailed for 15 days after pleading guilty to putting a female studio executive in a chokehold and bodyslamming her during the Sundance Film Festival in January.

The 30-year-old also has to pay a $4,750 fine and carry out 50 hours of community service. Victim Daniele Bernfeld, a Paramount Pictures employee, said she was disappointed the charges for the nightclub attack were reduced to a misdemeanor.

It took two people to pull him off me, and if not for their intervention, the attack would have continued,” she said. “I thought I was going to die.”

"She said authorities treated her with respect and dignity, but she’s disappointed that prosecutors agreed to a deal that meets the bare minimum.

“If a violent attack in front of a roomful of witnesses can be labeled a misdemeanor and dismissed, what of women who are assaulted while alone in hallways or bathrooms, or behind the closed doors of their own homes?” Bernfeld said in a statement sent by Los Angeles attorney Don Etra."

I, too, am very disappointed. Since when does going to rehab cancel out a brutal and unprovoked attack.
