The former sorority girl who pepper-sprayed a Muslim Uber driver in Manhattan last summer has struck a sweetheart deal to stay out of prison — partly thanks to her victim. Manhattan College grad Jennifer Guilbeault, 24, pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of one felony count of aggravated harassment in the second degree in Manhattan Supreme Court on Monday — despite initially being hit with a hate crime that had her facing up to 15 years in prison for the senseless July 31, 2024, attack on driver Shohel Mahmud. Mahmud, who claimed that Guilbeault attacked him because “he’s brown,” told The Post on Tuesday that he ultimately didn’t want the former PR agent to serve any prison time for the attack — because he’s a religious person who believes in forgiveness.
