Miley Cryus' VMA Date Gets Prison Sentence

(Radio.com) Miley Cyrus' date to August's VMAs will spend a little more time behind bars. The Statesman Journal reports that Jesse Helt, the homeless aspiring model who accompanied the singer to the MTV award ceremony, has been sentenced to six months in jail stemming from a probation violation.

However, Helt will likely only serve about four months of that sentence due to credit received after he turned himself in to Polk County Jail in August and the time he served afterward.

Helt, 22, accepted Cyrus' award for video of the year at the ceremony for "Wrecking Ball." In his acceptance speech, he spoke about youth homelessness in the United States, an issue Cyrus has brought to light in the past. The two met at a Los Angeles shelter prior to the ceremony.

However, following the triumphant moment, Helt was revealed to be wanted in his home state of Oregon on a parole violation after charges of criminal trespassing and mischief in 2010.
