Rapper Kodak Black could face sexual assault charges

The Roll in Peace rap artist had his 46-month jail sentence for guns offenses travelled by previous president Donald Trump throughout his last-minute pardoning spree prior to leaving the White House.

But at the very same time as Black was tweeting thanks to Mr Trump, district attorneys in Florence County were transferring to ensure the entertainer deals with trial for apparently requiring himself on a female in a hotel in 2016, according to Courthouse News.

Ed Clements, the 12th Circuit lawyer in Florence County, stated he currently has a detainer on file versus the 23-year-old rap artist– and prepares to “aggressively” pursue him, he informed TMZ.

Courthouse News stated it was uncertain if it would stop the rap artist from being released.

Mr Trump’s clemency does not affect the first-degree criminal sexual conduct charge, which is state, not federal, and brings an optimal sentence of thirty years in jail.

Black– who just recently altered his legal name from Dieuson Octave to Bill Kapri– is implicated of requiring himself on a female in a hotel space in February 2016, at one point biting her neck and breast, Courthouse News stated.

The female “repeatedly told (him to stop” throughout the sexual encounter, according to an authorities affidavit.

Mr Clements informed Courthouse News his workplace will “move forward as fast as we can” in the event, which he stated was postponed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, the rap artist’s attorney for the South Carolina case, Beattie Ashmore, was dismissive of the hazard.

“Aggressively prosecute? It’s been four years. That speaks volumes,” the attorney informed TMZ.

“Kodak was on bond and on tour for two years before his federal case even began.”

He called Mr Clements a “very fine and experienced prosecutor” and stated he anticipated “once again speaking with him about this case”, including sardonically: “It’s been a while.”
