27-year-old American rapper and actor, Kaalan Walker has been sentenced to 50 years to life in prison after being convicted of raping four women and three teenage girls he met on social media from 2013 to 2018.
Police said he was arrested in Los Angeles in September 2018 and accused of a series of sexual assaults on aspiring models who he contacted through social media and promised work opportunities.
Local reports have it that he was convicted in April by a Van Nuys jury of, three counts of forcible rape, two counts each of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor and rape of an intoxicated victim, and one count of assault with intent to commit oral copulation involving crimes between 2013 and 2018.
It was reported that the charges involve three teenagers and four other young women, with Superior Court Judge Joseph Brandolino ordering Walker to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.
Also, Cynthia Wallace, Deputy District Attorney averred that she believes the defendant is, ‘truly a predator.’
Reports have it that beginning in 2013, Walker used his Instagram and Twitter to contact women on social media, promising them opportunities for professional work and to meet celebrities, he would then get the women alone and then sexually assault them.
