American rapper and actor, Kaalan Walker alias KR, has been sentenced to 50 years imprisonment for r@ping three teens and four young women in att@cks dating back to 2013.
The 27-year-old was sentenced by a court sitting in the Los Angeles on Monday, October 18, months after he was convicted of the charges.
Superior Court Judge Joseph Brandolino also ordered the convict to register as a s#x offender for the rest of his life, according to Deputy District Attorney Cynthia Wallace, who told City News Service that she believes the defendant is “truly a pred@tor.”
A Van Nuys jury convicted Walker on April 18 of three counts of forcible r@pe, two counts of statutory r@pe and two counts of r@pe by intoxic@tion with intent to commit oral copul@tion involving crimes between 2013 and 2018.
Kaalan Walker was arrested in 2018 on the charges and was released on bail, but he was ordered held after sentencing, according to City News Service.
The rapper’s victims, who were models, alleged that Walker reached out to them over social media offering to help them professionally, police said.
According to the report, Kaalan Walker would lure his victims to locations by telling them there was a music video shoot or that he was going to introduce them to someone famous.
When he was alone with the women, he s#xually a$$aulted them, his victims told police.
Deputy District Attorney Yasmin Fardghassemi told the jury during her March opening statement that none of the victims knew each other.
(The) single thing that unites all of these women is the defendant Kaalan Walker,’ she said, adding, ‘You’re going to see a dark side of him.’
Fardghassemi alleged that Walker used his Instagram and Twitter accounts to lure his victims under the guise of photo shoots of music video shoots.
Walker played William McGee in the 2017 film Kings alongside Halle Berry and Daniel Craig, and was featured in two episodes of the 2018 BET series In Contempt, and also played JuJu in the 2018 film SuperFly.
