Mystikal Given 20-Year Prison Term in Louisiana Rape Case
Grammy-nominated rapper Mystikal was sentenced to 20 years in a Louisiana prison for third-degree rape stemming from a 2022 incident, after pleading guilty to a downgraded first-degree rape charge; the sentence carries no early release or probation and follows his prior 2003 sexual battery conviction as well as a separate 2016 rape/kidnapping case that was dropped after 18 months in jail.
