Kodak Black Enters Plea Deal in Sexual Assault Case
Written by SOURCE on April 28, 2021
Kodak Black has avoided jail time in his sexual assault case involving a teenage girl.
ABC 15 reports the 23-year-old rapper, legal name Bill Kapri, was sentenced to 18 months probation after pleading guilty to a lesser charge of first degree assault and battery. Kodak was originally indicted on a charge of criminal sexual conduct in the first degree and faced up to 30 years in prison; however, the victim agreed to the terms of a plea deal that Kodak ultimately accepted.
As part of the agreement, Kodak is required to get counseling as well as apologize to the girl who accused him of rape in 2016.
The victim told authorities the assault took place inside a hotel room following Kodak’s performance in Florence, South Carolina. The warrant for Kodak’s arrest stated he “forced the victim onto the bed in the room and then onto the floor of the room … The [defendant] removed the victim’s underwear” before penetrating her as she repeatedly told him to stop.
