A Louisiana jury has indicted New Orleans rapper Mystikal on charges of first-degree rape from an alleged sexual assault that is said to have occurred at his Louisiana home in late July. Should the grand jury find him guilty, the 51-year-old will face a life sentence under state law.
Mystikal was previously indicted on rape and kidnapping charges in 2017 and jailed for almost 18 months before being released on $3 million bond. The charges were eventually dropped. In 2003, he pleaded guilty to sexual battery and extortion, and he served a prison sentence from 2004 to 2010.
