Rapper Kodak Black charged with raping a high school student in South Carolina...
From The Charlotte Observer
Hip hop star Kodak Black is facing charges of raping a high school student in South Carolina, according to a prosecutor.
Although the popular rapper is on tour in the Southeast, he will likely have to return to South Carolina in either the summer or early fall, 12th Circuit Solicitor Ed Clements said in an interview with The State on Thursday.
That is when Kodak Black could potentially go on trial on the charge of first-degree criminal sexual conduct.
The rapper committed the crime in a hotel room after performing at a concert in Florence, Clements said. An arrest warrant accuses the 21-year-old rapper of committing the sexual assault in February 2016.
According to the arrest warrant, Kodak Black forced the girl onto the bed, then the floor where he committed sexual battery, although she “repeatedly told the defendant no and to stop. The defendant did not stop.” He also bit the girl on the “neck and her right breast,” injuries that were documented in a rape kit, the arrest warrant said.
The hip hop star was released on a $100,000 bond, WPDE reported.
After he was released, Kodak Black agreed to be swabbed and the prosecutor’s office has his DNA, Clements told The State.Kodak is facing up to 30 years in prison if convicted.
