Paris Hilton, Boyfriend Attacker Jailed

By Christo Varghese Posted Apr 29th 2011 03:00AM

James Rainford, the man who attacked Paris Hilton and her boyfriend Cy Waits on Wednesday, has been sent to jail.

TMZ is reporting that Rainford got sentenced to 227 days in prison after he pleaded 'no contest' to misdemeanor battery.

Rainford was already on probation and the judge threw the book at him for violating the terms of his probation. He was arrested last October after trespassing on the socialite's property and getting into an altercation with her security.

In addition to the jail sentence, Rainford was sentenced to three years informal probation and ordered to stay away from Waits once he's released.

Hilton and Waits were walking into a Superior Court building in Van Nuys when Rainford attempted to grab Waits in the back of the neck. He was immediately subdued by a bodyguard and handed over to police.

After his arrest, Rainford explained to police that he was in love with Hilton and had her father's permission to marry her.

Hilton and Waits were at the Van Nuys courthouse to testify in a case against Nathan Parada who broke into their home last year wielding a knife.

Ha ha ha! Paris' jealousy game?

By joyinmyheart

It is so sad that you laugh at someone else's pain. She was going into court to testify against someone who broke into her home carrying a knife when she is attacked my a lunatic who wants to marry her. Not funny! She has a very troubled life.

This stalker has to try just a little harder.

Take a cue from Paris. Use your car next time.

And will he be released after spending two or three hours in jail? You know, because the jails are terribly overcrowded and all - it just seems that what's good for the goose should be good for the gander.

This poor schmuck goes to jail for almost a year, all because he does`nt have money or stardom (like lindsey lowlife). Good system??

Paris is seeking fame only.....she has been lost in the shuffle. Poor baby.

It has been so nice not to be hearing about Paris Hilton everyday. Hope this news does not mean she will be back in the news daily. Can't stand her or the Kardashians and Lohans.

Why not give this attacker the same jail time that Paris Hilton had when she went to jail?

oh if only the attacker, James Rainford, was a no-talent celebrity like Lindsay Lohan. He would have gotten a slap on the wrist instead of all that time in jail.

Paris is a "celebrity" through birth, not talent. She wants the "stage center" attention, the "sexy" persona, the perceived "fame," and flaunts it. You put yourself out there and make sex tapes, be prepared to be stalked. No pity here. She's old enough to know this world has deranged people and when you're a magnet, they'll find you.

Serious this guy obviously is nuts he deserves to be locked up
and this is no laughing matter

By bobsducky

Maybe it's time for her to: rethink her life; take a vocational aptitude test to see if she is capable of doing something constructive for a living; stay out of the spotlight; do something about her physical appearance that will make her desireable.

This guy obviously has mental problems if he wants a worn out skank like Paris.
