Tech mogul Gurbaksh Chahal was sentenced to one year in prison Friday for violating his probation in a domestic violence case. Police say that security camera footage from 2013 shows Chahal beating and kicking his then-girlfriend 117 times and that the entrepreneur violated his parole by hitting another woman this year.

Chahal earned fame when he sold his tech startup, a digital advertising company called Gravity4 Inc., for $300 million to Yahoo at the age of 25.
