Actress Hayden Panettiere’s father pleaded no contest to assaulting his wife, and he will get probation for two years.

Alan Panettiere was accused of punching his wife in the face.  Authorities allege he hit the woman on the cheek back in September.

Let this be a lesson to all of you abusers out there. If you hit your wife, then you will only get probation.  Geez, I’m sure that will really be a deterrent.
