'Bling Ring' Member Sentenced to Jail for Audrina Patridge Break-In
Rachel Lee pleaded no contest in September.

A 21-year-old member of the so-called "Bling Ring" was sentenced on Tuesday to four years in prison for burglarizing the home of Audrina Patridge, former star of "The Hills."
Rachel Lee of Calabasas pleaded no contest last month to one count of first-degree residential burglary in connection with the 2009 break-in. In exchange for her plea, the other charges against her -- one count of conspiracy to commit
burglary and two counts of receiving stolen property -- were dismissed.
Trial is still pending for four other accused "Bling Ring'' members -- Nicholas Prugo, 20; Diana Tamayo, 21; Courtney Leigh Ames, 20; and Roy Lopez
Jr., 29 -- who are due back in court Nov. 18 for a pretrial hearing.
