The former Voice coach recently pleaded no contest to charges of supplying a woman with ecstasy during a dinner date back in 2012, maintaining his innocence and accepting a plea deal.

Rape charges relating to the case failed to be filed due to a lack of evidence, with Green's lawyer claiming the pair had "consensual relations."

However, he was sentenced to three years of formal probation and 360 hours of community service on the ecstasy charge on August 29, upon formally entering his no contest plea.

Superior Court Judge Mark Young has also ordered Green to attend 52 Alcoholics Anonymous/Narcotics Anonymous meetings, and he will return to court on March 2, 2015, for a progress report.
