Ex-Oakland Raiders cornerback Sean Smith has just pled guilty to felony assault stemming from a 2017 attack in Pasadena ... and was sentenced to 1 year in prison.
As we previously reported, Smith beat the hell out of his sister's boyfriend in Old Town Pasadena on July 4 -- punching and stomping the man so badly, he suffered 5 facial fractures.
The victim required major reconstructive surgery including a metal plate under his right eye.
Smith initially plead not guilty but eventually struck a deal with prosecutors in which he agreed to plead guilty to felony assault by means of force likely to create great bodily injury.
In exchange, Smith got 1 year in prison and 5 years probation. The judge also told Smith he's not allowed to own a gun -- for the rest of his life. He's also ordered to pay the victim restitution.
Smith -- who had signed a $40 million contract with the Raiders in 2016 -- was facing up to 7 years behind bars. The Raiders are expected to formally cut Smith as soon as possible.
