Lauryn Hill, a prominent member of the now defunct U.S based hip hop group,The Fugees, is facing a three year jail term and $75,000 in fines after pleading guilty to tax evasion charges, on Friday.
Lauryn Hill admitted to a federal court, her failure to file three years of taxes on an estimated $1.8million income.
Nathan Hockman, Hill's lawyer, said that the Grammy winner had been a target of the federal government because of her celebrity status.
"There are many people in society who fail to file their taxes on time who only face civil liability," said Mr. Hockman.
