American rapper and actor, Kaalan Walker has been sentenced to 50 years to life in prison after his April conviction on multiple counts of rape.
The 27-year-old was arrested in 2018 on multiple counts of rape that dated from 2013 to 2018.
He was convicted in April by a Van Nuys jury of, ‘three counts of forcible rape, two counts each of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor and rape of an intoxicated victim and one count of assault with intent to commit oral copulation involving crimes between 2013 and 2018,’ according to NBC 4.

‘He didn’t force them… It’s pay-back to Mr. Walker and we’re not going to let that happen,’ he said, adding his client has lived, ‘a living nightmare’ and his career is now ruined.
Walker played William McGee in the 2017 film Kings alongside Halle Berry and Daniel Craig, and was featured in two episodes of the 2018 BET series In Contempt, and also played JuJu in the 2018 film SuperFly.
