Michael Avenatti has been sentenced to four years in prison for cheating client Stormy Daniels – the porn actor who catapulted him to fame – of hundreds of thousands of dollars in book proceeds.

Prosecutors said he illegally pocketed about $300,000 of her advance on “Full Disclosure,” published in fall 2018.
