Category: Crime News
Kaalan Walker has been sentenced to 50 years to life in prison after
being found guilty of multiple counts of r3pe dating from between 2013 and
2018.
The rapper and actor, 27, who previously starred in Superfly
and Kings, was arrested on multiple counts of r3pe.
In April, he
was convicted of ‘three counts of forcible r3pe, two counts each of unlawful
sexual intercourse with a minor and rape of an intoxicated victim and one
count of assault with intent to commit oral copulation involving crimes
between 2013 and 2018’ by a jury, according to reports from NBC 4.
The charges related to three teenagers and four other young women,
and Walker has also been ordered to register as a s3x offender for the rest of
his life.
Walker was also acquitted of two counts of ‘forcible r3pe
and one count of forcible digital penetration’ involving three other alleged
victims.
Deputy District Attorney Yasmin Fardghassemi had told the court
that Walker used his Instagram and Twitter accounts to lure his victims by
inviting them to photoshoots or music video shoots, as well as claiming he
would introduce them to people to further their career, before assaulting
them.
Walker’s attorney, Andrew Flier, meanwhile claimed Walker
was innocent and had been ‘portrayed as a monster.’
He told the
court that the victims were seeking ‘revenge’ after realising the actor had
made them false promises, addimg: ‘They’re going to lie to you because they
know that they fell for his B.S.
‘The pattern of Mr. Walker is to
make false promises, and they bought it… Each one of these women voluntarily
made their own decisions.
‘He didn’t force them… It’s pay-back to
Mr. Walker and we’re not going to let that happen,’ adding that the claims had
ruined Walker’s career and that he is now in a ‘living nightmare’.
Walker is best known for starring as William McGee in 2017’s Kings
alongside Halle Berry and Daniel Craig as well as playing JuJu in 2018’s
Superfly, as well as featuring in two episodes of the BET series In Contempt
in 2018.
