Young Thug, legally known as Jeffery Williams, has pleaded guilty to multiple charges including participation in criminal street gang activity and drug possession, concluding a year-long racketeering trial in Georgia. On October 31, he was sentenced to time served and 15 years of probation by Fulton County Judge Paige Reese Whitaker, who initially imposed a 40-year sentence but commuted it as part of a plea deal. Williams, who was indicted in May 2022 alongside 27 others for alleged gang-related activities linked to Young Slime Life (YSL), faced serious charges that included racketeering conspiracy. While his legal team had expressed confidence in fighting the charges, Williams opted for the plea to avoid further time in custody due to personal and familial pressures. As part of his probation, he must stay away from metro Atlanta for the first 10 years and engage in community service. This outcome significantly reduces the potential sentencing he faced, which could have been as high as 120 years.
