(KCEN) -- The man accused of making the anti-Islam film that incited so much violence in the Middle East was sentenced to one year in prison Wednesday.
Not for the movie, but because he admitted using an alias, which prosecutors said violated his probation from a 2010 bank fraud case.
Mark Basseley Youssef was identified in initial news accounts as Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, the name used in the bank fraud case.
Youssef gained international attention following protests against his film.
Protests erupted in the Middle East when an Arabic translation of the film's trailer was released online a few weeks before the anniversary of September 11.
