Nakoula Basseley Nakoula was sentenced by a judge in California after admitting four violations which stem from a 2010 conviction for fraud.
None of the charges was connected with the content of the controversial film,”The Innocence of Muslims.”
US District Judge Christina Snyder said Nakoula, 55, must spend 12 months in prison followed by four years of supervised release.
Nakoula, who was arrested in September, also goes by the name of Sam Bacile, Nicola Bacily and Mark Basseley Yousseff and is believed to be an Egyptian-American Coptic Christian.
US authorities have said they believe Nakoula was the person behind the controversial film, but have not said whether he was the person who posted it on the internet.
