Fan gets 2 years in jail for peppering Ashanti’s mother with lewd text messages and photos

A fan who unleashed his crude fantasies about Ashanti in a battery of text messages and photos to the R&B singer’s mother has been sentenced to two years in jail.

Devar Hurd was sentenced Thursday in a Manhattan court. He was convicted in December of stalking and other charges. The 31-year-old has already served about eight months while awaiting trial and sentencing.
The Grammy Award-winning singer’s mother, Tina Douglas, said she was alarmed and disgusted by the messages. They included photos of Hurd’s genitals and of the Douglas family’s Long Island home.

Hurd said the messages were intended as friendly banter and jokes.
