Cameron Douglas, the son of actor Michael Douglas, was sentenced Tuesday to five years in prison for conspiring to sell crystal meth and for heroin possession.

Cameron was somber as U.S. District Judge Richard Berman announced the sentence. The charges resulted from Cameron’s arrest last summer in a federal drug sting.

Douglas, a 31-year-old former deejay, told the judge that he was sober for the first time in his adult life, and that he was grateful for the chance to get clean.

“I’d like to apologize to my family and loved ones for putting them through this nightmare of my making,” Cameron said, adding, “I believe, your honor, things will be different this time.”

After his sentencing, Michael, 65, looked deep in thought as he left the court with ex-wife Diandra by his side.

He refused to talk to the waiting press as he and Diandra left the court and made their way to a car.
