On Monday a judge sent former American Idol fourth-season contestant Jessica Sierra for a year-long stint in rehab after the singer was arrested for disorderly intoxication, resisting arrest without violence and violating probation on Dec. 1.

According to reports, the Judge Daniel Perry was "reluctant” to send Sierra to rehab. "I don't want this to be some stepping stone for her to have a career as a recovering addict," he said. The judge ordered that she is prohibited from conducting interviews or appearing on television.
