A Fishkill judge today (September 3) set a December date for Akon's trial on charges of harassment and endangering the welfare of a minor.

As previously reported, during a concert at Dutchess Stadium in Fishkill in June 2007, 15-year-old Anthony Smith threw an object at Akon while he was onstage and the singer asked the crowd to point him out.

A security guard would drag the teenager to the stage and Akon would pick him up and throw him back into the crowd, striking a woman in the audience.

According to The Associated Press, Akon's trial for the charges was set for December 1st. The R&B singer faces one year and 15 days in jail if he is convicted.

Both legal parties in the case have revealed that they would like to resolve the case out of court before the trial date.
