Mystikal Pleads Not Guilty to Rape & False Imprisonment Charges

Rapper Mystikal pleaded not guilty to charges accusing him of raping and choking a woman at his Louisiana home.

Mystikal is facing charges of first-degree rape, simple criminal damage to property, false imprisonment, domestic abuse battery by strangulation, simple robbery, possession of heroin, marijuana, methamphetamine and Xanax, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Speaking with AP, Mystikal’s lawyer Pearce reiterated his belief in his client’s innocence and cast doubt on some of the charges. He said he didn’t know what Tyler was even accused of stealing, and of the drug charges, he stated, “My client doesn’t even do drugs, so he has absolutely no idea what they were talking about.”

New York Post reports that prosecutors plan to bring up the rapper’s 2003 guilty plea to sexual battery and extortion as evidence of prior crimes.

Mystikal and two bodyguards videotaped themselves in sex acts with his hairstylist after he accused her of stealing $80,000 worth of his checks and told her he would not go to the police if she did something “degrading.”

She denied stealing his money. He was convicted and spent six years in prison.

In 2004, Tyler pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting his hairstylist and was sentenced to six years in prison. Upon his release in 2010, he had to register as a sex offender.
