Sheesh: Mystikal Indicted For 1st Degree Rape, Faces Life
At one point, Mystikal was one of the biggest rappers in the game. Now, he's looking at a long time behind bars.
This is the second time rape charges have been brought against him. He was able to get off the first time, we'll see how this time around goes. Keep in mind, Louisiana has a mandatory life sentence when someone is convicted of rape.
The indictment Tuesday charges 46-year-old Michael Lawrence Tyler, who goes by the name Mystikal, with one count each of first-degree rape and second-degree kidnapping.
His bond has been set at $3 million.
Last month, he surrendered to authorities at Caddo Correctional Center.
Mystikal is known for his work with rapper Master P (Percy Miller) and his Top 20 hits "Shake Ya Ass/Shake It Fast" and "Danger (Been So Long)," both of which were released in 2000.
In 2003, he pleaded guilty to sexual battery and extortion charges. Upon his release in January 2010, he faced five years on probation and was required to register as a sex offender in Louisiana. -(KSLA)
