The saga involving former Jersey Shore couple Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Jen Harley has finally reached a conclusion in the form of a plea deal in the domestic violence case.

As part of the agreement, Ortiz-Magro pled no contest to one count of domestic battery and one count of resisting arrest. He'll avoid any time behind bars, but will be on probation for 36 months. 

Additionally, Ortiz-Magro was ordered to complete 30 days of community labor in Nevada, donate $20,000 to a L.A.-based women's shelter and complete a 52-week domestic violence program at a court-approved agency in Nevada. 

Lastly, he and Jen Harley must engage in "peaceful contact" and obey the three-year protective order issued in the case.

According to the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office, Ronnie was charged with domestic violence, brandishing a weapon, child endangerment, false imprisonment [of Jen], resisting arrest and making criminal threats.

"The facts and circumstances around Ronnie's arrest have been misreported and exaggerated, like we mentioned in the past. We are happy the District Attorney's refused to file any charges and we look forward to addressing this matter with City Attorney; until then, we will make no further comment," his attorney told E! News.

Jen's attorney Michael Cristalli told E! News the she "is the victim in this case" and that "any attempts to portray her as anything other than the victim is just wrong."
