Justin Bieber has managed to avoid jail time by pleading guilty in Ontario ATV assault case.

The criminal assault case involving then girlfriend Selena Gomez, took place last summer, when Bieber crashed his ATV into the minivan of a photog, who was taking their pictures, TMZ.com has reported.

The 'Beauty And A Beat' singer attended the Canadian court via Skype while sitting his lawyer, Howard Weitzman's office, and pled guilty to simple assault and careless driving.

The judge told him that the "lesson in all of this is to think before you act in the future."

Bieber now has to pay only 750 dollars fine and he would be free top go without any jail or probation.
