According to NBC Los Angeles, Kaalan Walker, a 27-year-old rapper, has been sentenced to 50 years to life in prison after being accused of raping several women. The charges were related to attacks on three teenage girls and four young women that date back to 2013.
Superior Court Judge Joseph Brandolino also ordered the actor to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office stated that Walker had been charged with “three counts of forcible rape, two counts of statutory rape, and two counts of rape by intoxication.”

Also commenting on the ruling, Cynthia Wallace, the deputy district attorney, said she is convinced that the defendant is “truly a predator.” Wallace described him as a “serial rapist.”
The judge, however, acquitted him of two counts of forcible rape and one count of forcible digital penetration involving three other alleged victims.
The police report said the victims of the actor, “who were models, alleged that Walker reached out to them over social media offering to help them professionally”.
The report added that “Walker primarily used Instagram and Twitter to lure his alleged victims to locations he chose by booking them for fake photo or music video shoots or with a false promise of introducing them to someone famous.”
His victims also told the police that whenever the actor was alone with them, he sexually assaulted them.
