谢琳·伍德蕾认罪达科他输油管抗议事件 避免牢狱之灾

    U.S. actress Shailene Woodley has reached a plea deal over her involvement in the protest against the Dakota Access oil pipeline.

    Woodley, star of the “Divergent” series, was one of 27 people arrested at the site last October.

    She has now signed a document agreeing to plead guilty to misdemeanor* disorderly conduct, which would mean she would avoid jail.

    The pipeline project has been highly controversial* and drawn huge protests.

    Native Americans say it will desecrate* sacred* land and damage the environment.

    Woodley, who livestreamed her arrest on Facebook, initially pleaded not guilty to criminal trespass* and engaging in a riot*.

    Her plea deal, which is awaiting the approval of a judge, would see her serve a year’s unsupervised* probation* and forfeit* a US$500 bond.

    The actress, who is also known for roles in “The Fault in Our Stars” and “Big Little Lies,” was scheduled to stand trial on Friday.
