Rapper Mystikal has been indicted for first degree rape which means he could be sentenced to life in prison.
The “Danger” rapper also faces nine additional criminal counts including criminal damage to property, false imprisonment, domestic abuse battery by strangulation, robbery, and several drug-related offenses.
According to Allhiphop, the woman was assaulted at the rapper’s Prairieville, La. home. Mystikal’s attorney confirmed the rapper had been in a long-term relationship with the woman and that he lost his temper after accusing her of stealing money from him. The rapper then allegedly punched her and choked her. He also pulled out the woman’s hair and allegedly stopped her from leaving his home by taking her keys and cell phone.
The victim then claimed she offered to help Mystikal find the missing $100 but while searching for the money, she found a “crystalline substance” substance in his dresser. He then switched between being angry to remorseful, prayed with her, splashed her with rubbing alcohol to cleanse her “bad spirits.”
After this he allegedly forced her onto the bed and raped her. Her allegations were reportedly consistent with her injuries.
Speaking to reporters, Mystikal’s attorney was unbothered by the indictment.
“It’s an indictment,” Joel Pearce said on Wednesday. “It means nothing. We look forward to our day in court.”
