Andy Dick, a comedian, was sentenced to 90 days in prison after being found guilty of groping an Uber driver in West Hollywood in 2018.

Dick was sentenced to 12 months of summary probation and must register as a sex offender at a hearing at the Los Angeles Superior Court Airport Courthouse, according to the Los Angeles Times.

He was also ordered to attend 52 Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, 52 anonymous sexual compulsion meetings, 12 mental health counselling sessions, and pay restitution to the victim.

The comedian is scheduled to begin serving his sentence at the Los Angeles County Jail tomorrow (November 17).

Dick’s lawyer, Daniel Kapelovitz, told the Los Angeles Times that he intends to appeal the case, but declined to elaborate.

In June, jurors heard the accusations of a ride-share driver who claimed Dick grabbed his genitals during an Uber ride in West Hollywood in 2018.

They found the defendant guilty on one count of misdemeanor sexual battery.

The latest verdict is just one of several assault allegations against Dick.

Last November, he was arrested in Los Angeles on suspicion of felony domestic violence, and in May 2022, he was arrested in Orange County on suspicion of felony sexual battery.

Charges have not yet been filed in the 2021 incident, but prosecutors in Orange County dropped their case after the victim refused to cooperate with authorities, according to the OC Register.

In 2019, a man accused of assaulting Dick claimed the comedian groped and winked at him first, prompting him to knock Dick out for 15 minutes.

In 2018, his longtime girlfriend obtained a restraining order against him in Los Angeles following a domestic violence claim.

Dick pleaded no contest to lewd conduct and battery the same year for allegedly squeezing a woman’s buttocks and making lewd remarks while passing her on a LA street. He avoided jail time by accepting a plea bargain for the incident.
