Mystikal Pleads Guilty to Rape, Faces Up to 20 Years

0:00On March 18, U.S. rapper mystical pleaded guilty to third-degree rape this Tuesday in a Louisiana courthouse near Baton Rouge. The 55-year-old artist, whose real name is Michael Tyler, faces up to 20 years in prison over a case that started with his arrest back in. 20-22 The plea deal cut down the original charges, which included first-degree rape, robbery, domestic abuse battery, and false imprisonment. Those could have locked him up for life if he'd been convicted. Tyler has faced legal trouble before, like a six-year prison term in 2004 for sexual assault and extortion on his hairstylist, which made him a registered sex offender. He also did three months in jail in 2012 for misdemeanor domestic abuse, and charges of rape and kidnapping got dropped in 2017. In this latest case, the victim reported being raped, beaten, choked, and held against her will when Tyler took her phone and car keys. She said he even forced her to send him money through cash-app.
