Walker has just been sentenced to 50 years to life...
From CBS Los Angeles
A rapper-actor who appeared in the 2018 film “SuperFly'' was sentenced on Monday to 50 years to life in state prison for sex-related charges involving three teens and four young women in attacks dating back to 2013.
Superior Court Judge Joseph Brandolino also ordered Kaalan Walker, 27, to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life, according to Deputy District Attorney Cynthia Wallace, who told City News Service that she believes the defendant is "truly a predator.''
A Van Nuys jury convicted Walker on April 18 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.
Jurors acquitted him of two counts of forcible rape and one count of forcible digital penetration involving three other alleged victims.
In her opening statement in March, Deputy District Attorney Yasmin Fardghassemi told the jury that the case involved women who didn't know each other, and that the "single thing that unites all of these women is the defendant Kaalan Walker.''
"You're going to see a dark side of him ...'' the prosecutor told jurors, saying Walker primarily used Instagram and Twitter to lure his alleged victims to locations he chose by booking them for fake photo or music video shoots or with a false promise of introducing them to someone famous.
"When they said 'Stop,' he didn't care,'' Fardghassemi said.
Walker's attorney, Andrew Flier, countered that his client — whom he said had been “portrayed as a monster'' — was innocent of the charges.
"They're going to lie to you because they know that they fell for his B.S.,'' the defense lawyer told jurors, saying the alleged victims were out for “revenge.''
"The pattern of Mr. Walker is to make false promises, and they bought it... Each one of these women voluntarily made their own decisions,'' Flier said. "He didn't force them... It's pay-back to Mr. Walker and we're not going to let that happen.''

That’s a hard pill to swallow.
What a waste of a life. He had opportunities few people can get.
@9:10 That not all he be swallowing.
Rapists like him deserve all the time in the world. Glad they gave him that
Pillow biting for a lifetime!
50 years???? Seems excessive. Judge probably gets a kickback for sending young sexy black men to the incarcerated homos. Probably get a kickback for preventing a black family from starting.
and just like that you chose to die in prison instead of being a productive part of society.
