He was almost one step closer to knowing his fate in the case yesterday, but a scheduled court date did not go as planned.<\/p>\n<h3>Life in Prison Looms Over Mystikal\u00a0for Rape\u00a0Accusation<\/h3>\n<p>Mystikal was set to face a judge in\u00a0Ascension Parish court in Louisiana\u00a0on Monday (March 17) to enter a plea in his rape case. Unfortunately, the rapper did not make his way to court because the judge delayed his case, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.klfy.com\/louisiana\/mystikals-court-date-pushed-back-guilty-plea-not-entered-in-rape-case\/\" target=\"_blank\">KLFY News 10<\/a> in Lafayette, La. There is no reason provided for the delay or whether either side requested extra time to prepare.<\/p>\n<p>The new court date was\u00a0pushed back\u00a0to May 19, when Mystikal, 54, is expected to give a plea. However, it&#8217;s unclear if he will offer a guilty or not guilty plea. The New Orleans rhymer has maintained his innocence since his arrest in 2022, and previously pleaded not guilty to charges of\u00a0first-degree rape, domestic abuse battery by strangulation and false imprisonment.<\/p>\n<p><em>XXL<\/em>\u00a0has reached out to Mystikal&#8217;s lawyer for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Rape allegations have plagued Mystikal&#8217;s career for decades. The most recent accusation stems from an incident on July 30, 2022, after an alleged victim identified\u00a0him to police as the suspect who raped her.\u00a0Mystikal was accused of assaulting the victim following a dispute over money at the rapper&#8217;s\u00a0Prairieville, La. home. She claims Mystikal thought she took\u00a0$100 from him, which caused him to reportedly punch, choke and pull out\u00a0her hair. He then allegedly stopped her from leaving the home by taking her keys and cell phone.<\/p>\n<p>While trying to find the missing money,\u00a0she found a &#8220;crystalline substance&#8221; substance in his dresser. Cops later discovered Xanax, heroin and marijuana at Mystikal&#8217;s home during a search.<\/p>\n<p>She alleged that Mystikal forced her onto a bed and raped her after\u00a0praying with her and splashing her with rubbing alcohol to cleanse her &#8220;bad spirits.&#8221;\u00a0The victim\u00a0was reportedly in a\u00a0long-term relationship with the former No Limit artist.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to this, he was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/world\/china\/rapper-mystikal-released-from-prison-after-6-years-idUSTRE60J5QZ\/\" target=\"_blank\">sentenced to six years<\/a> in prison after\u00a0pleading guilty to sexual battery and extortion in 2003, in connection to an incident with his then-hair stylist. Mystikal became a lifetime registered sex offender as a result of that case, and was released in 2010.\u00a0Two years later, he returned to jail\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.xxlmag.com\/mystikal-released-from-jail\/\" target=\"_blank\">for violating his probation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xxlmag.com\/mystikal-charged-with-rape-in-louisiana\/\" target=\"_blank\">Another rape accusation<\/a> put Mystikal back behind bars in 2017, when he\u00a0was charged with the crime again\u00a0in Louisiana and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.xxlmag.com\/mystikal-indicted-grand-jury-charges-rape-kidnapping\/\" target=\"_blank\">indicted<\/a>\u00a0for both rape and kidnapping. For two years he sat in\u00a0jail, then was released on a $3 million bond. The case was eventually dropped due to lack of evidence.<\/p>\n<p>If Mystikal goes to trial and is convicted of first-degree rape related to the 2022 case he&#8217;s currently in jail for, he faces a mandatory life sentence.\u00a0Two months from now, he&#8217;s scheduled to go in front of a judge to put another plea on paper. Will he\u00a0enter a\u00a0guilty plea to avoid life in prison or continue to say he didn&#8217;t do the crime? If he takes the risk to go in front of a jury, he&#8217;s gambling on whether they&#8217;ll believe him or the victim, who\u00a0shared grim details of what he allegedly did to her when recounting the rape.<\/p>\n<h4>Read More:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.xxlmag.com\/master-p-mystikal-released-jail-rape-charge\/\" target=\"_blank\">Master P Calls for Mystikal to Be Released From Jail Following Rape Charge<\/a><\/h4>\n<p><h2 class=\"photogallery-title\">See Why These 29 Rappers Are in Jail or Prison Right Now<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/www.xxlmag.com\/rest\/carbon\/api\/scripts.js?mver=566&#038;gver=6&#038;bid=812&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fbtloader.com%2Ftag%3Fo%3D5642230212591616%26upapi%3Dtrue&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.p-n.io%2Fpushly-sdk.min.js%3Fdomain_key%3DLT1Yn2pW9B5QzH6n4H2YlkQyVEfXVOOu82lt&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Ftownsquare.media%2Fpublic%2Fresources%2Fjs%2Fpubcid.min.js&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fplatform.twitter.com%2Fwidgets.js&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fapis.google.com%2Fjs%2Fplatform.js&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.facebook.net%2Fen_US%2Fsdk.js&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.pinterest.com%2Fjs%2Fpinit.js&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fpub.doubleverify.com%2Fdvtag%2F29287203%2FDV1106009%2Fpub.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\" async defer data-osano=\"ESSENTIAL\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt Hip Hop Magizine News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"9431463036\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mystikal has spent nearly three years in jail after being arrested for rape.
