He pleaded guilty to the crime, which reduced the severity of the charges against him and the possible sentences. However, just days before sentencing, Mystikal asked a judge to withdraw the plea.
He has been held in custody since his arrest in 2022.
Mystikal has been accused of similar crimes before. In 2017, he was charged with rape but was acquitted due to lack of evidence. He was also accused of sexual assault in 2003 and served six years in prison after pleading guilty.
