Mystikal has been in jail for nearly three years after being arrested for rape. He was almost one step away from knowing his fate yesterday, but the scheduled court date did not go as planned.
Life in prison on Mystikal for rape charges
Mystikal will face a judge in the Ascension Diocese Court in Louisiana on March 17 (March 17) to file a plea in his rape case. Unfortunately, according to 10 KLFY News 10, the rapper did not resort to court because the judge delayed the case.
The new court date has been restored to May 19, when Mystikal, 54, was expected to plead guilty. However, it is not clear whether he will be guilty. Since his arrest in 2022, New Orleans Rhyme has been holding on to its innocence, having previously committed first-degree rape, first-degree rape and domestic abuse and beatings for blackmail and false incarceration.
XXL has contacted Mystikal’s attorney for comment.
Rape accusations have plagued Mystikal’s career for decades. The latest allegations stemmed from a July 30, 2022 incident after a victim allegedly identified him as the suspect who raped her. Mystikal was accused of being in the rapper’s prairie (La. She claimed Mystikal thought she took $100 from him, which made him slam and choke her hair. He then allegedly stopped her from leaving the house by taking the keys and cell phone.
While trying to find the lost money, she found a “crystalline substance” in his dressing table. Police later discovered Xanax, heroin and marijuana in Mystikal’s home during the search.
She claimed that Mystikal forced her to go to bed and raped her, praying with her and splashing her with alcohol to clean her “bad spirit”. The victim reportedly had a long-term relationship with the former No Limit Artist.
Prior to that, he was sentenced to six years in prison after pleading guilty to sexual assault and extortion in 2003, related to the incident with the hairstylist at that time. Mystikal became a lifelong registered sex offender and was released in 2010. Two years later, he returned to jail for breach of probation.
Another rape charge left Mystikal back behind in 2017, when he was again charged with committing crimes in Louisiana and indicted for rape and kidnapping. For two years, he sat in prison and was released on a $3 million margin. The case was eventually dismissed due to lack of evidence.
If Mystikal attends the trial and is convicted of first-degree rape in connection with the 2022 case he is currently sentenced to jail, he faces mandatory life imprisonment. Two months from now on, he was scheduled to put another request on paper in front of the judge. Will he have a guilty plea to avoid life imprisonment or continue saying that he has not committed a crime? If he ventures to the jury, he will be gambling whether they will believe he is still a victim, and they share the grim details he allegedly did to her while narrating the rape.
