American rapper, Kodak Black has pleaded guilty in a legal case stemming from his assault on a high school student in 2016.
Kodak had been charged with allegedly sexually assaulting a teenage girl in February 2016 at a hotel. According to prosecutors, he pushed the girl into a wall and onto a bed before assaulting her, allegedly biting her breast and neck.
However, Kodak who was in court Wednesday, April 28, pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of first-degree assault and battery in a plea deal.
The rapper’s attorneys, Bradford Cohen and Beattie Ashmore told TMZ that their client who was originally indicted on a felony charge of first-degree criminal sexual conduct copped a plea to a lesser charge to put the case behind him.
Florence County, SC – Kodak Black has reportedly pleaded guilty in his South Carolina sexual assault case after striking a plea deal with prosecutors. According to
The Post & Courier, the 23-year-old rapper agreed to plead guilty to first-degree assault and battery in exchange for 18 months of probation in a court hearing on Thursday (April 28).
He was originally facing up to 30 years, but the plea agreement spared him from a longer prison sentence. Although he was given a 10-year sentence, it was suspended for the 18 months of probation.
In February 2016, Kodak Black was accused of raping a teenage girl in a Florence Comfort Inn & Suites hotel room following his performance at the Treasure City Nightclub. During the proceedings, Kodak was given the opportunity to address the victim who appeared via a virtual feed, telling her, “I apologize this happened and I’m hopeful we can all move forward.”
A federal judge in Greenville has ordered California businessman Scott Kohn to pay $501 million in a civil case involving the buying and selling of military veterans benefits, an illegal practice illuminated by an investigation of The Greenville News.
Kohn and a web of his affiliated companies must pay $436 million in restitution to thousands of veterans and other pensioners across the nation, according to an order that U.S. District Judge Bruce Hendricks signed last month.
Kohn and his companies also are required to pay $65 million in penalties to the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
In a 2018 lawsuit filed in California and later moved to South Carolina, the bureau accused Kohn of preying on financially struggling veterans by deceiving them about exorbitant interest rates associated with cash advances. The veterans agreed to divert money from their monthly disability or pension incomes to repay the advances.
Kodak Black Released From Federal Prison But Still Faces Sexual Assault State Charges
January 21, 2021
Kodak Black is still facing prison time for an old sexual assault case despite getting a presidential pardon.
Kodak Black may be happy right now that he has been granted a pardon that paved the way for him to be free to reunite with his family, but the rapper’s freedom might be short-lived. The pardon he received has cleared him of federal gun charges, but he could still face state charges as prosecutors in South Carolina have said that they want him transferred there to face ongoing sexual assault charges. Presidential pardons only grant clemency to federal crimes.
