Jodie Sweetin's ex Justin Hodak jailed for six years

Jodie Sweetin's former fiance Justin Hodak has been sentenced jail for more than six years after he was found guilty on the pretext of possession of a deadly weapon and falsifying evidence by threatening a witness.

Hodak has been sentenced to jail for six years and eight months.

The decision comes after a dark legal battle that started when he threatened to kill himself after Jodie ended their year-long engagement.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hodak appeared in court in Van Nuys, California and pleaded "no contest" to two charges.

He will be required to complete a 52-week domestic violence program, obey a protective order and refrain from posting pictures or videos of Sweetin.

Previously, Hodak was arrested three times within a nine-day period.

During the investigation, Hodak was found to be in possession of a firearm, which he wasn't allowed to have due to a prior felony.
