NAIROBI, Kenya — A magistrate today sentenced a U.S. fashion and wildlife photographer to a six-month prison term or a $300 fine for violating Kenya’s immigration laws.
Peter Beard, 47, of New York, the estranged husband of model Cheryl Tiegs, pleaded guilty to being in the country without a valid visa and elected to pay the fine. The charges said Beard’s three-week visa expired March 23, almost five months before his arrest Aug. 19.
