A man who scaled
the New York Times Building pleaded guilty to disorderly
conduct in New York City on Monday and was sentenced to
three days of community service -- at Gay Men's Health
Crisis. Last June, Alain Robert, a French daredevil
who's climbed buildings around the world, used the
ladder-like facade of the Times building to
reach the summit in an act he hoped would raise awareness of
global warming, The
New York Times reports.
Robert was
expecting to avoid community service, but he told the
Times that "the good thing is I can still do it
for some nonprofit organization." In addition, he must pay a
fine of $250.
Robert must
complete his stint at GMHC by next summer. His next
climb -- a sanctioned event -- takes place next week at La
Cigale Hotel in Qatar. (Advocate.com)
