Rose McGowan Avoids Jail Time After Pleading ‘No Contest’ for Drug Possession Charge

Actress and activist Rose McGowan is set to plead “no contest” to a reduced drug charge in Loudoun County, Virginia after the actress and activist was arrested for possession of cocaine in 2017.

She previously asked for her case to be dismissed but a judge refused to do so in March 2018.

According to McGowan’s attorney Jim Hundley: “The Commonwealth has agreed to reduce the current felony charge to a misdemeanor of possession of a controlled substance. Ms. McGowan will enter a plea of no contest to the reduced charge when she appears in court on January 15, and the commonwealth will recommend a sentence that requires Ms. McGowan to pay a fine.”

“The agreement brings this ordeal to an end and allows her to focus all of her energy on what matters most to her – creating a better world,” he said. “Ms. McGowan will comment on the day of the plea.”
