In 2007, Akon was convicted of endangering the welfare of a minor. Akon had thrown the minor off the stage during one of his performances at Dutchess Stadium during the KFEST concert. The minor was 15. The act was caught on cell phone cameras and reported by MTV. Akon alleged that a small item was thrown at him and when the crowd pointed out who threw the item, Akon retaliated by throwing the boy.http://www.celebrity-mania.com/news/view/00004495.html Akon was later aquitted of the charges and that was going to be the basis of the name of the album, but Akon changed it from Aquitted to Freedom at the last minute.http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1582675/20080303/akon.jhtml
