Robert Downey Jr.'s son Indio pleads guilty to drug charges.
The 21-year-old was sentenced to a drug diversion program on Friday that could result in his conviction being dismissed. As his father watched in the courtroom, Indio thanked the judge for allowing him to enter the program.
The son of Robert Downey Jr. pleaded guilty last Friday to cocaine possession and was sentenced to a drug diversion program that could result in his conviction being dismissed.
As the actor watched in the courtroom, Indio Downey, 21, thanked Superior Court Judge Keith L. Schwartz for allowing him to enter the program and pledged to take the advice of the judge to heed the lessons of treatment and get advice from his father if necessary.
"I appreciate this opportunity and I intend to make the most of it," Indio Downey told the judge.
Robert Downey listened intently to the proceedings and nodded his head when Schwartz urged the actor's son to be careful about choosing friends. The Oscar-nominated actor did not speak during the hearing.
Indio Downey's attorney Blair Berk said her client had already spent 70 days in a residential rehab program and intended to complete another 20 days. He will not be required to appear in court again as long as he complies with the rules of the drug diversion program, andand his conviction will be dismissed in 18 months if he stays out of trouble.Jacked from NY Daily News
