Mystikal Wants Rape Case Dismissed, Rejects Plea DealIn 2017, Mystikal was indicted on first-degree rape and second-degree kidnapping charges, pleading not guilty. Just last month, the 48-year-old rapper was released from a Louisiana prison after posting a $3 million bond. It’s been reported that Mystikal and his lawyer Joel Pearce are now looking to get his rape charge dropped proving his innocence.
Pearce recently met with Louisiana prosecutors leading to a plea deal. The prosecutors offered to change the aggravated rape charge to a third-degree rape charge, Mystikal isn’t willing to plead guilty to felony rape so he declined the plea. He is claiming that the alleged victim has fabricated the whole story. The trial is scheduled to start in May, but due to ongoing plea negotiations, there could be a delay in the trial.
