Kings' Slava Voynov serving 90 day sentence in luxury jail

Slava Voynov is paying his debt to society from the confines of a luxury jail cell.

The Los Angeles Kings defenceman pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor domestic violence charge July 2 and began serving his sentence on July 7 at the 30-bed Seal Beach Police Detention Center, a city attorney confirmed to the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday.

Voynov, sentenced to serve 90 days at a prison of his choosing, was accused of punching his wife during a Halloween party and later kicking and choking her at their Redondo Beach, Calif., home.

"The defendant punched her once on the left side of her jaw," the probation report said.
