Mystikal’s rape trial, scheduled to begin in June, has been delayed. The request for the delay was made by the rapper’s new defense attorney.
Tiffany Myles Crosby needs more time “to become abreast of all pertinent issues in this matter in order to provide efficient representation.”
Mystikal is accused of raping, strangling and robbing a woman at his home in Prairieville, Louisiana in July after she allegedly stole some money from him.
The rapper was charged with illegal possession of Xanax, possession of heroin, possession of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was also charged with false imprisonment, domestic abuse battery by strangulation, simple criminal damage to property and simple robbery.
Mystikal previously faced sexual crime allegations in 2004 after sexually assaulting his hairstylist, news outlets reported. He eventually pled guilt to attacking the woman and spent six years in jail following the arrest.
Mystikal was registered as a sex offender after his release.
