Baku, November 13 (AZERTAC). A woman accused of attacking Leonardo DiCaprio with a broken bottle at a Hollywood party in 2005 has pleaded no contest at a court in Los Angeles.

Aretha Wilson, who fled to Canada and was extradited, was charged with one count of assault with a deadly weapon.

She had faced up to seven years in prison had she been found guilty.

She originally pleaded not guilty in August and the full trial was due to start on Friday. The 40-year-old has not yet been sentenced.

Full details are not yet clear, but the Associated Press news agency reported that Wilson was expected to receive a two-year jail term on 22 November as part of a plea deal.

Wilson was accused of sneaking into a party hosted by Paris Hilton`s former boyfriend, Rick Salomon, and attacking Mr. DiCaprio with a bottle.

Mr DiCaprio required a dozen stitches to his face and neck after the party.
